He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold;
The creation of these shields signifies the wealth and opulence of Solomon's reign. Gold was a symbol of divine favor and prosperity. The use of hammered gold indicates skilled craftsmanship, reflecting the high standards of Solomon's court. Shields, typically used for protection in battle, here serve a ceremonial purpose, symbolizing strength and divine protection over Israel. This opulence is reminiscent of the wealth described in1 Kings 10:16-17, where Solomon's wealth is further detailed.

three hundred shekels of gold went into each shield.
A shekel was a unit of weight, and three hundred shekels of gold per shield indicates a significant amount of wealth. This detail underscores the immense resources available to Solomon and the kingdom's prosperity. The use of gold rather than more practical materials for shields highlights their ceremonial nature. This lavish use of gold can be compared to the construction of the Temple, where gold was extensively used (1 Kings 6:20-22).

And the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
The House of the Forest of Lebanon was one of Solomon's grand architectural projects, serving as an armory and a symbol of his wealth and power. It was named for its cedar pillars, reminiscent of the forests of Lebanon, known for their quality timber. This location was not only a storage place but also a display of Solomon's splendor and the kingdom's security. The placement of the shields here signifies a blend of military might and royal grandeur. The House of the Forest of Lebanon is mentioned in1 Kings 7:2-5, highlighting its importance in Solomon's reign.

What Does 2 Chronicles 9:16 Mean
He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold

• Scripture says, “He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold” (2 Chron 9:16). The statement is straightforward: Solomon literally commissioned 300 shields.

• The word “also” connects these to the larger list of royal splendor (see 2 Chron 9:15;1 Kings 10:16–17). These were in addition to the two hundred larger shields already mentioned.

• Hammered gold points to expert craftsmanship, reminiscent of the tabernacle work where “Bezalel… hammered out gold” (Exodus 37:7). God-given skill was celebrated in Israel’s history, and Solomon continued that legacy.

• Small shields (often used by royal bodyguards, cf.1 Kings 14:27) served a ceremonial purpose—visible tokens of the king’s glory and by extension the LORD’s blessing promised inDeuteronomy 28:1–10.

three hundred shekels of gold went into each shield

• The verse adds, “three hundred shekels of gold went into each shield.” Using the common royal shekel, that totals roughly 7 ½ pounds (3.4 kg) per shield—an extravagant amount.

• Solomon’s wealth flowed directly from God’s promise in1 Kings 3:13: riches unparalleled among kings. The detail here confirms how literally the Lord fulfilled that word.

• This excess was not random flaunting; it illustrated the peace and prosperity Israel enjoyed under covenant obedience (1 Kings 4:20–25).

• For believers today, such super-abundance pictures the “unsearchable riches of Christ” (Ephesians 3:8) now poured out spiritually on His people.

And the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon

• The verse concludes, “And the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.” This great cedar-pillared palace/armory is described in1 Kings 7:2–5.

• Placing the shields there had several effects:

– Function: The building served as an armory (cf.Isaiah 22:8), so the shields were ready for royal guards.

– Display: Visitors entering the long cedar hall would instantly see rows of gleaming gold, underscoring the majesty God granted Solomon (2 Chron 9:3–4).

– Security: Storing them in a fortified complex safeguarded national treasures until later rebellion led to their loss (2 Chron 12:9).

• The setting reminds us that every blessing must be stewarded wisely; when the nation drifted from the LORD, the shields were soon plundered—a sober echo ofDeuteronomy 28:47–48.

summary

2 Chronicles 9:16 records literal golden shields that Solomon commissioned, each laden with 300 shekels of hammered gold and stored in the House of the Forest of Lebanon. They symbolize God-granted prosperity, the beauty of skilled workmanship dedicated to royal—and ultimately divine—honor, and they foreshadow the need to guard God’s gifts with faithful obedience.

(16)Shields.--Maginnim. Them?g?n was a rouud or oval shield, about half the size of the "target" (cinnah), with which it is often contrasted;e.g.,Psalm 35:2; LXX.,??????.

Three hundred shekels of gold.--Kings,three manehs of gold. The maneh or mina (Assyrian,mana), was 1-60th part of a talent, and was equivalent to fifty or sixty shekels. Either the reading of our text is an error of transcription (sh'losh m?'oth forsh'losheth manim), or the wordshekels is wrongly supplied in our version, and we ought rather to readdrachms (100 drachms = 1 mina). The Syriac reads, "And three minas of gold wrought on the handle of one shield;" so also the Arabic.
