And King Rehoboam made in their stead brazen shields,.... 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" , 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.
