This phrase refers to the actions of King Shishak of Egypt, who invaded Jerusalem during the reign of Rehoboam, Solomon's son. The "house of the LORD" is the temple Solomon built, a central place of worship for Israel, symbolizing God's presence among His people. The "royal palace" refers to the king's residence, which was also constructed by Solomon. The seizing of treasures indicates a significant loss of wealth and divine favor, as these treasures were not only material wealth but also held religious significance. This event fulfills the prophecy given to Solomon that if Israel turned away from God, they would face consequences (<a href="/1_kings/9-6.htm">1 Kings 9:6-9</a>). The loss of these treasures symbolizes the spiritual decline of the nation under Rehoboam's leadership.He took everything, The phrase "He took everything" emphasizes the totality of the plunder. This was not a partial loss but a complete stripping of the wealth that had been accumulated during Solomon's prosperous reign. It highlights the vulnerability of Judah when they turned away from God's commandments. This act of taking everything can be seen as a divine judgment, as the wealth that was meant to honor God was now in the hands of a foreign power. This serves as a reminder of the consequences of disobedience and the fleeting nature of earthly riches.including all the gold shields that Solomon had made. The gold shields were part of Solomon's extensive building projects and symbolized the kingdom's wealth and strength. They were used in ceremonial processions and displayed in the House of the Forest of Lebanon (<a href="/1_kings/10-16.htm">1 Kings 10:16-17</a>). The loss of these shields represents not only a material loss but also a loss of national pride and security. The shields, made of gold, were a testament to Solomon's wisdom and God's blessing during his reign. Their capture by Shishak signifies the end of an era of prosperity and the beginning of a period of decline. This event foreshadows the eventual downfall of both the northern and southern kingdoms due to their continued disobedience to God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/s/shishak,_king_of_egypt.htm">Shishak, King of Egypt</a> The Pharaoh who invaded Jerusalem during the reign of Rehoboam, taking away the treasures of the temple and the royal palace. 2. <a href="/topical/r/rehoboam.htm">Rehoboam</a> The son of Solomon and king of Judah, whose reign saw the division of the united kingdom and the subsequent invasion by Shishak. 3. <a href="/topical/j/jerusalem.htm">Jerusalem</a> The capital city of Judah, where the temple and the royal palace were located, and which was plundered by Shishak. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_house_of_the_lord.htm">The House of the LORD</a> Refers to the temple in Jerusalem, a central place of worship for the Israelites, built by Solomon. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_royal_palace.htm">The Royal Palace</a> The residence of the king, which housed significant wealth and treasures.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_consequences_of_disobedience.htm">The Consequences of Disobedience</a> Rehoboam's failure to follow God's commandments led to the loss of divine protection and the plundering of Jerusalem.

There is no notice of any sack of Jerusalem, nor, as in later cases, of any desecration of the Temple, or even of the plunder of its decorations. The record seems to imply surrender of the city and its treasures. The idea sometimes advanced, that, like the capture of Rome by the Gauls, the invasion of Shishak destroyed all ancient monuments and archives, has therefore no historical support from this passage; and with it many conclusions derived from it as to the dates of our Scriptural records must pass away.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_kings/14.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 26. - And he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord [The historian omits to mention the interposition of Shemaiah (<a href="/2_chronicles/12-5.htm">2 Chronicles 12:5-8</a>).
