So Shishak king of Egypt went up against Jerusalem, and took the treasures that were in the house of the Lord, and the treasures that were in the king's house: he took all, and he took the golden shields which Solomon had made.

And Hezekiah gave all the silver that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house.

At that time Hezekiah cut off [the gold from] the doors of the temple, and [from] the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah [had] overlaid with gold, and gave it to the king of the Assyrians.

It is a snare to a man hastily to consecrate some of his own property: for [in that case] repentance comes after vowing.
