Exegesis
The verb vayikach {וַיִּקַּ֞ח | wayyiqqāḥ} ‘and he took’ sets the action in motion and recurs to underscore total plunder.
A final vayikach {וַיִּקַּח֙ | wayyiqqāḥ} repeats the verb as the narrative turns to specific loot marked by et-kol-maginei {אֶת־כָּל־מָגִנֵּ֣י | ʼet-kol-māginē} ‘all shields of’ and ha-zahav {הַזָּהָב | hazzāhāv} ‘the gold’.
In context — 1 Kings 14:26
And he took the treasures of the house of the LORD , and the treasures of the house of the king; he took everything, and he took all the shields of gold which Solomon had made .
