1 Kings 14:24–28 · Berean Standard Bible

24 There were even male shrine prostitutes in the land. They imitated all the abominations of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.

25 In the fifth year of Rehoboam’s reign, Shishak king of Egypt came up and attacked Jerusalem.

26 He seized the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the royal palace. He took everything, including all the gold shields that Solomon had made.

27 Then King Rehoboam made bronze shields in their place and committed them to the care of the captains of the guard on duty at the entrance to the royal palace.

28 And whenever the king entered the house of the LORD, the guards would bear the shields, and later they would return them to the guardroom.
