beaten gold

"gold that people had beaten into thin sheets"

Six hundred shekels of gold went into each one

"They covered each shield with six hundred shekels of gold" or "They made each shield out of six hundred shekels of gold"

Six hundred shekels of gold

"Six and one half kilograms of gold". A shekel is a unit of weight equal to about 11 grams. The word "shekels" does not appear here in the Hebrew text. Some modern versions assume instead the unit called bekah, which was equivalent to only a half shekel.
