1 Kings 14:25-29
Verse 26 He took away the treasures - All the treasures which Solomon had amassed, both in the temple and in his own houses; a booty the most immense ever acquired in one place. All the shields of gold which Solomon had made - These were three hundred in number, and were all made of beaten gold. See a computation of their value in the note on 1Kgs 10:17 (note). Verse 28 The guard bare them - The guard probably were just three hundred, answering to the number of the shields.
