He took away all the treasures in the Temple and in the palace, including the gold shields Solomon had made.

Every time the king went to the Temple, the guards carried the shields and then returned them to the guardroom.

Solomon made two hundred large shields, each of which was covered with about fifteen pounds of beaten gold,

and three hundred smaller shields, each covered with about eight pounds of beaten gold. He had them all placed in the Hall of the Forest of Lebanon.

King Shishak came to Jerusalem and took the treasures from the Temple and from the palace. He took everything, including the gold shields that King Solomon had made.

To replace them, Rehoboam made bronze shields and entrusted them to the officers responsible for guarding the palace gates.
