So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king`s house: he took all away: he took away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

Verse Takeaways

1

Mercy in Judgment

Charles Spurgeon highlights that even in this severe punishment, God showed restraint. Shishak took treasures from the temple and palace but did not plunder the common people. This demonstrates that when God disciplines His children, it is always measured and merciful, never the full force of His wrath.
