Commentary for I Kings 14:28
וַיְהִ֛י מִדֵּי־בֹ֥א הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ בֵּ֣ית יְהוָ֑ה יִשָּׂאוּם֙ הָֽרָצִ֔ים וֶהֱשִׁיב֖וּם אֶל־תָּ֥א הָרָצִֽים׃
And it was so, that as oft as the king went into the house of the LORD, the guard bore them, and brought them back into the guard-chamber.
Rashi on I Kings
The runners would carry them. Before him, in [his] honor,8Alternatively, it may have been done as protection against a rebellion.—Radak and afterwards, they would return them9I.e., the copper shields. to the chamber where the runners were always stationed.
