Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king’s house.
En lugar de los escudos de oro, el rey Roboam hizo escudos de bronce y los entregó a los capitanes de la guardia que protegían la entrada del palacio real.
El rey Roboam reemplazó los valiosos escudos de oro con escudos de bronce más baratos para los guardias del palacio.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This follows the Egyptian Pharaoh Shishak's invasion of Jerusalem during Rehoboam's reign, when the temple and palace treasures, including Solomon's famous gold shields, were taken as plunder. Rehoboam, Solomon's son, had to replace the magnificent gold shields his father had made with much less valuable bronze replicas. This marked a significant decline in Israel's wealth and international standing from the peak years under Solomon.
