1 Kings 14:25 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Kings 14:25

23 For they also built for themselves ^ahigh places, ^bsacred pillars, and ^cwooden images on every high hill and ^dunder every green tree.

24 ^aAnd there were also¹ perverted persons in the land. They did according to all the ^babominations of the nations which the Lord had cast out before the children of ^cIsrael.

25 ^aIt happened in the fifth year of King Rehoboam that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem.

26 ^aAnd he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord and the treasures of the king’s house; he took away everything. He also took away all the gold shields ^bwhich Solomon had made.

27 Then King Rehoboam made bronze shields in their place, and¹ committed them to the hands of the captains of the² guard, who guarded the doorway of the king’s house.

28 And whenever the king entered the house of the Lord, the guards carried them, then brought them back into the guardroom.
