1 KINGS 14:31 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother’s name was Naamah an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead.”
So Shishak king of Egypt 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 the golden shields which Solomon had made — Shishak plunders the temple, taking sacred and royal treasures. The phrase לַח אֶת־אוֹצְרוֹת בֵּית־יְהוָה (he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD) shows the invasion's destructive impact. The mention of Solomon's golden shields marks the erosion of Solomonic splendor.
