New Testament

2 Chronicles 12:7-11 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

7. When the Lord saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying, "They have humbled themselves so I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some measure of deliverance, and My wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by means of Shishak.

8. But they will become his slaves so that they may learn the difference between My service and the service of the kingdoms of the countries."

9. So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took the treasures of the house of the Lord and the treasures of the king's palace. He took everything; he even took the golden shields which Solomon had made.

10. Then King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place and committed them to the care of the commanders of the guard who guarded the door of the king's house.

11. As often as the king entered the house of the Lord, the guards came and carried them and then brought them back into the guards' room.
