Exegesis
The final object, et-maginei hazahav {אֶת־מָגִנֵּי הַזָּהָב | ʾet-māginnê hazzāhāḇ} ‘the gold shields’, is further defined by the relative asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʾăšer} ‘which/that’ plus asah {עָשָׂה | ʿāśâ} ‘he made’, attaching the loss specifically to Shelomoh {שְׁלֹמֹה | šəlōmōh} and intensifying the reversal: what once displayed royal glory is now spoil.
