1Ki 14:27-28 | MHM | STEP | v. 27-28 : In place of the golden shields, Rehoboam made shields of bronze for his guards to carry when he went to the temple. This change from gold to bronze symbolized the decline of Judah’s glory. Still, Rehoboam continued to go to the house of the Lord , perhaps more often after this defeat. Even so, honoring God with outward actions is not enough if the heart is far from Him (1 Kings 14:27-28 ).
