⁹ Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem. He took away the treasures from the house of the Lord and the treasures from the house of the king. He took everything, including the gold shields that Solomon had made. ¹⁰ King Rehoboam made bronze shields in their place, and he entrusted them to the captains of the guard who were keeping watch at the entrance of the king’s palace. ¹¹ Whenever the king went to the House of the Lord, the guards would go along and carry the shields. Then they would return them to the guardroom.^[a]
