New Testament

2 Chronicles 12:8-11 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

8. Yet truly, they shall serve him, so that they may know the difference between my servitude, and the servitude of a kingdom of the lands."

9. And so Shishak, the king of Egypt, withdrew from Jerusalem, taking up the treasures of the house of the Lord and of the house of the king. And he took away everything with him, even the gold shields that Solomon had made.

10. In place of these, the king made bronze ones, and he delivered them to the leaders of the shield bearers, who were guarding the vestibule of the palace.

11. And when the king would enter into the house of the Lord, the shield bearers would arrive and take them, and they would carry them back to their armory.
