Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam and all that he did
In the course of his reign, that was memorable:

27 and King Rehoboam made in their place shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the officers of the guard, who kept the door of the king's house.
28 And as often as the king went into the house of the LORD, the guard carried them and brought them back to the guardroom.
