וַיַּ֨עַשׂ הַמֶּ֤לֶךְ רְחַבְעָם֙ תַּחְתֵּיהֶ֔ם מָגִנֵּ֖י נְחֹ֑שֶׁת וְהִפְקִ֗יד עַל־יַד֙ שָׂרֵ֣י הָרָצִ֔ים הַשֹּׁ֣מְרִ֔ים פֶּ֖תַח בֵּ֥ית הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
Und König Rehabeam machte an ihrer Stelle Schilde aus Messing und legte sie in die Hände der Hauptleute der Wache, die die Tür des Königs hielten's Haus.
Rashi on II Chronicles
and he entrusted them in the hands of the chiefs of the runners He took them from the house of the forest of Lebanon and entrusted them to the chiefs of the runners and afterwards they returned them to the chamber of the runners The room of the runners, i.e., to their place. Another explanation I heard from my mentor is that because he was afraid of the king of Egypt and the king of Israel, they would carry them [the shields] before him.
