6 The king and the leaders admitted that they had sinned, and they said, “What the Lord is doing is just.”
7 When the Lord saw this, he spoke again to Shemaiah and said to him, “Because they admit their sin, I will not destroy them. But when Shishak attacks, they will barely survive. Jerusalem will not feel the full force of my anger,
8 but Shishak will conquer them, and they will learn the difference between serving me and serving earthly rulers.”
9 King Shishak came to Jerusalem and took the treasures from the Temple and from the palace. He took everything, including the gold shields that King Solomon had made.
10 To replace them, Rehoboam made bronze shields and entrusted them to the officers responsible for guarding the palace gates.
11 Every time the king went to the Temple, the guards carried the shields and then returned them to the guardroom.
12 Because he submitted to the Lord, the Lord's anger did not completely destroy him, and things went well for Judah.
