SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:27
Y en lugar de ellos hizo el rey Roboam escudos de bronce, y los dio en manos de los capitanes de los de la guardia, quienes custodiaban la puerta de la casa real.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 27. And King Rehoboam made in their stead brazen shields , etc.] For the king of Egypt had so stripped him of his gold, that he was not able to replace golden ones: and committed them into the hands of the chief of the guard ; or “runners” f339 , that went before the king, or attended him as his bodyguard when he went abroad: which kept the door of the king’s house ; which kept guard night and day in their turns.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 21-31 - Here is no good said of Rehoboam, and much said to the disadvantage of his subjects. The abounding of the worst crimes, of the worst of the heathen, in Jerusalem, the city the Lord had chosen for his temple an his worship, shows that nothing can mend the hearts of fallen men but the sanctifying grace of the Holy Spirit. On this alone may we depend for this let us daily pray, in behalf of ourselves and all around us The splendour of their temple, the pomp of their priesthood, and all the advantages with which their religion was attended, could no prevail to keep them close to it; nothing less than the pouring out the Spirit will keep God's Israel in their allegiance to him. Sin exposes makes poor, and weakens any people. Shishak, king of Egypt, came an took away the treasures. Sin makes the gold become dim, changes the most fine gold, and turns it into brass __________________________________________________________________
