Shishak I: =Sheshonk I., king of Egypt. His reign was one of great national
success, and a record of his wars and conquests adorns the portico of
what are called the "Bubastite kings" at Karnak, the ancient Thebes.
Among these conquests is a record of that of Judea. In the fifth year
of Rehoboam's reign Shishak came up against the kingdom of Judah with
a powerful army. He took the fenced cities and came to Jerusalem. He
pillaged the treasures of the temple and of the royal palace, and
carried away the shields of gold which Solomon had made
(1 Kings 11:40)
(1 Kings 14:25; 2 Chronicles 12:2)
(See REHOBOAM)
This expedition of the Egyptian king was undertaken at the instigation
of Jeroboam for the purpose of humbling Judah. Hostilities between the
two kingdoms still continued; but during Rehoboam's reign there was
not again the intervention of a third party.
