He is a significant figure in biblical history due to his military campaign against the Kingdom of Judah during the reign of King Rehoboam. Shishak's invasion is one of the earliest events in the Bible that can be correlated with Egyptian historical records.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br>Shishak is primarily mentioned in the Old Testament in the context of his campaign against Jerusalem. The key passages that reference Shishak are found in <a href="/1_kings/14-25.htm">1 Kings 14:25-26</a> and <a href="/2_chronicles/12-2.htm">2 Chronicles 12:2-9</a>.<br><br><a href="/1_kings/14-25.htm">1 Kings 14:25-26</a> states: "In the fifth year of Rehoboam’s reign, Shishak king of Egypt came up and attacked Jerusalem. He seized the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the royal palace. He took everything, including all the gold shields that Solomon had made."<br><br><a href="/2_chronicles/12-2.htm">2 Chronicles 12:2-9</a> provides a more detailed account of the events, explaining that Shishak's invasion was a consequence of Judah's unfaithfulness to the LORD. The passage describes how Shishak came with a vast army, including chariots and horsemen, and captured the fortified cities of Judah before advancing on Jerusalem. The text also notes that Rehoboam and the leaders of Judah humbled themselves, acknowledging the LORD's righteousness, which led to a partial deliverance from total destruction.<br><br><b>Historical Context:</b><br>Shishak's campaign is historically significant as it marks a period of Egyptian resurgence in the region following the decline of the New Kingdom. Shishak's reign is well-documented in Egyptian records, including the Bubastite Portal at Karnak, which lists the cities he conquered. This aligns with the biblical account of his campaign against Judah and other territories in the Levant.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br>From a theological perspective, Shishak's invasion serves as a reminder of the consequences of turning away from God. The biblical narrative emphasizes that Rehoboam's and Judah's abandonment of the LORD led to their vulnerability and subsequent subjugation by foreign powers. The account in 2 Chronicles highlights the importance of humility and repentance, as Rehoboam's acknowledgment of God's justice resulted in a measure of mercy, sparing Jerusalem from complete destruction.<br><br><b>Archaeological Evidence:</b><br>Archaeological findings, such as the inscriptions at Karnak, corroborate the biblical account of Shishak's campaign. These inscriptions provide a list of cities and regions conquered by Shishak, offering external validation of the biblical narrative. The synchronization of biblical and Egyptian records provides a valuable historical framework for understanding the geopolitical dynamics of the period.<br><br><b>Legacy:</b><br>Shishak's invasion had lasting implications for the Kingdom of Judah. The loss of wealth and the humiliation of defeat underscored the fragility of the kingdom without divine favor. The event is a pivotal moment in the history of Israel and Judah, illustrating the broader theme of covenant faithfulness and divine retribution found throughout the biblical narrative.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Shishak</span><p>present of the bag; of the pot; of the thigh<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Shishak</span><p>king of Egypt, the Sheshonk I. of the monuments, first sovereign of the Bubastite twenty-second dynasty. His reign offers the first determined syncronism of Egyptian and hebrew history. The first year of Shishak would about correspond to the 26th of Solomon (B.C. 989), and the 20th of shishak to the 5th of Rehoboam. Shishak at the beginning of his reign received the fugitive Jeroboam, (<a href="/1_kings/11-40.htm">1 Kings 11:40</a>) and it was probably at the instigation of Jeroboam that he attacked Rehoboam. "He took the fenced cities which [pertained] to Judah, and came to Jerusalem." he exacted all the treasures of his city from Rehoboam, and apparently made him tributary. (<a href="/1_kings/14-25.htm">1 Kings 14:25,26</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/12-2.htm">2 Chronicles 12:2-9</a>) Shishak has left a record of this expedition sculptured on the wall of the great temple of El-Karnak. It is a list of the countries, cities and tribes conquered or ruled by him, or tributary to him.<a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Shishak</span><p>A king of Egypt, who declared war against Rehoboam king of Judah in the fifth year of his reign. He entered Judah, B. C. 971, with an innumerable multitude of people out of Egypt, the countries of Lubim, of Suchim, and of Cush, captured the strongest places in the country, and carried away from Jerusalem the treasures of the Lord's house and of the king's palace, as well as the golden bucklers of Solomon. </p><p>Jeroboam having secured the friendship of Shishak, his territories were not invaded, <a href="/1_kings/11-40.htm">1 Kings 11:40</a> 14:25,26 <a href="/context/2_chronicles/12-2.htm">2 Chronicles 12:2-9</a>. Shishak is generally believed to have been the Sesonchis of secular history, the first king of the twenty-second or Budastine line. He dethroned the dynasty into which Solomon married, <a href="/context/1_kings/3-1.htm">1 Kings 3:1</a>, and made many foreign conquests. In the palace-temple of Karnak in Egypt, the walls of which are yet standing, Sesonchis is represented in a large basrelief, dragging captive kings in triumph before the three chief Theban gods. Each country or city is personified, and its name written in an oval above it. One of these figures, with Jewish features, has an inscription, which Campollion interprets, "kingdom of Judah." Several other symbols are thought to denote as many walled towns of Judah, captured by Shishak.

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.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">SHISHAK</span><p>shi'-shak (shishaq (<a href="/1_kings/14-25.htm">1 Kings 14:25</a>); Sousakeim):<br><br>1. Shishak, 952-930 B.C.:<br><br>Sheshonk or Sheshenq I, as he is called on the monuments, the founder of the XXIInd Dynasty, was in all probability of Libyan origin. It is possible that his claim to the throne was that of the sword, but it is more likely that he acquired it by marriage with a princess of the dynasty preceding. On the death of Pasebkhanu II, the last of the kings of the XXIst Dynasty, 952 B.C., Shishak ascended the throne, with an efficient army and a well-filled treasury at his command. He was a warlike prince and cherished dreams of Asiatic dominion.<br><br>2. Patron of Jeroboam:<br><br>He had not long been seated on the throne when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, of the tribe of Ephraim, whom Solomon had promoted but afterward had cause to suspect, fled from the displeasure of his sovereign to the court of Shishak (<a href="/1_kings/11-26.htm">1 Kings 11:26</a>). There Jeroboam remained till the death of Solomon, when he returned to Canaan, and, on Rehoboam's returning an unsatisfactory answer to the people's demands for relief from their burdens, headed the revolt of the Ten Tribes, over whom he was chosen king with his capital at Shechem (<a href="/1_kings/12-25.htm">1 Kings 12:25</a>). Whether there was not in the XXIst Dynasty some kind of suzerainty of Egypt over Palestine, when Solomon married Pharaoh's daughter and received with her Gezer as a dowry, seems not to be clearly established. It is, however, natural that Jeroboam's patron in the day of adversity should take sides with him against Rehoboam, now that the kingdom was divided. Active support of Jeroboam would be in the line of his dreams of an eastern empire.<br><br>3. Syrian Campaign:<br><br>So it came to pass that in the 5th year of Rehoboam, Shishak came up against Jerusalem with 1,200 chariots, and 60,000 horsemen, and people without number out of Egypt, the Libyans, Sukkiim, and Ethiopians, and took the fenced cities of Judah, and came to Jerusalem. At the preaching of the prophet Shemaiah, Rehoboam and his people repented, and Jerusalem was saved from destruction, though not from plunder nor from servitude, for he became Shishak's servant (<a href="/2_chronicles/12-8.htm">2 Chronicles 12:8</a>). Shishak took away the treasures of the house of the Lord and the treasures of the king's house, carrying off among the most precious of the spoils all the shields of gold which Solomon had made (<a href="/1_kings/14-25.htm">1 Kings 14:25</a> <a href="/2_chronicles/12-1.htm">2 Chronicles 12:1-9</a>). From the Scripture narrative it does not appear that there was any occupation of Palestine by the Egyptian forces on this occasion.<br><br>4. Shishak's Record at Karnak:<br><br>There is, however, a remarkable contemporary record of the campaign engraved on the south wall of the Temple of Amon at Karnak by Shishak himself. Not only is the expedition recorded, but there is a list of districts and towns of Palestine granted to his victories by Amon-Ra and the goddess of Thebes engraved there. A number of towns mentioned in the Book of Joshua have been identified; and among the names of the list are Rabbath, Taanach, Gibeon, Mahanaim, Beth-horon and other towns both of Israel and Judah. That names of places in the Northem Kingdom are mentioned in the list does not imply that Shishak had directed his armies against Jeroboam and plundered his territories. It was the custom in antiquity for a victorious monarch to include among conquered cities any place that paid tribute or was under subjection, whether captured in war or not; and it was sufficient reason for Shishak to include these Israelite places that Jeroboam, as seems probable, had invited him to come to his aid. Among the names in the list was "Jud-hamalek"-Yudhmalk on the monuments-which was at first believed to represent the king of Judah, with a figure which passed for Rehoboam. Being, however, a place-name, it is now recognized to be the town Yehudah, belonging to the king. On the death of Shishak his successor assumed a nominal suzerainty over the land of Canaan.<br><br>LITERATURE.<br><br>Flinders Petrie, History of Egypt, III, 227;; Maspero, Struggle of the Nations, 772;; Nicol, Recent Archaeology and the Bible, 222-25.<br><br>T.
