^(C1)So Shishak king of Egypt went up against Jerusalem, and he took the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the king's palace. He took everything; ^(C2)he even took the gold shields which Solomon had made.

Then King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place and committed them to the ^(F1)care of the commanders of the ^(F2)guards who guarded the entrance of the king's house.

As often as the king entered the house of the LORD, the ^(F1)guards came and carried them and then brought them back into the ^(F1)guards' room.

And ^(C1)when he humbled himself, the anger of the LORD turned away from him, so as not to destroy him completely; and conditions ^(C2)were also good in Judah.
