Charles Ellicott Commentary 1 Kings 14:26

"and he took away the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king`s house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made." — 1 Kings 14:26 (ASV)

He even took away all. —There is a touch of pathos in the description of the utter spoil of the treasures in which Solomon and Israel had gloried, and which now served only to buy off the victorious Egyptians. There is no notice of any sack of Jerusalem, nor, as in later cases, of any desecration of the Temple, or even of the plunder of its decorations. The record seems to imply surrender of the city and its treasures.

The idea sometimes advanced, that, like the capture of Rome by the Gauls, the invasion of Shishak destroyed all ancient monuments and archives, therefore has no historical support from this passage; and, as a result, many conclusions derived from this idea concerning the dates of our Scriptural records must also be dismissed.
