Shemaiah the prophet visited Rehoboam and the leaders of Judah who were assembled in Jerusalem because of Shishak. He said to them,“This is what the LORD says:‘You have rejected me, so I have rejected you and will hand you over to Shishak.’”
The leaders of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said,“The LORD is just.”
When the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the LORD’s message came to Shemaiah:“They have humbled themselves, so I will not destroy them. I will deliver them soon. My anger will not be unleashed against Jerusalem through Shishak.
Yet they will become his subjects, so they can experience how serving me differs from serving the surrounding nations.”
King Shishak of Egypt attacked Jerusalem and took away the treasures of the LORD’s temple and of the royal palace; he took everything, including the gold shields that Solomon had made.
King Rehoboam made bronze shields to replace them and assigned them to the officers of the royal guard who protected the entrance to the royal palace.
Whenever the king visited the LORD’s temple, the royal guards carried them and then brought them back to the guardroom.
