Chronicles 12:8"> 8 Empero serán sus siervos; para que sepan qué es servirme á mí, y servir á los reinos de las naciones.
Pero serán sus siervos; para que sepan lo que es servirme a mí, y servir a los reinos de las naciones.
Pero serán sus siervos; para que sepan qué es servirme a mí, y servir a los reinos de las naciones.

Reciprocal: Deuteronomy 28:48 - serve Judges 3:2 - might know Job 36:15 - openeth
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Nevertheless, they shall be his servants,.... tributaries to the king of Egypt:
that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries; the difference between them, how easy the one, which they might perform without taxes and tributes, and how hard and heavy the other, through the exactions and exorbitant demands of those to whom they became subjects.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
That they may know my service, and the service of the kingdom - i. e., that they may contrast the light burthen of the theocracy with the heavy yoke of a foreign monarch.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Chronicles 12:8. They shall be his servants — They shall be preserved, and serve their enemies, that they may see the difference between the service of God and that of man. While they were pious, they found the service of the Lord to be perfect freedom; when they forsook the Lord, they found the fruit to be perfect bondage. A sinful life is both expensive and painful.
