Shishak

Pharaoh Shishak (Shoshenq I) founded Egypt's 22nd Dynasty and invaded Judah during Rehoboam's reign, just five years after Solomon's death, taking the treasures of the Temple and the royal palace — including Solomon's famous gold shields (1 Kings 14:25-26, 2 Chronicles 12:2-9). Rehoboam replaced them with bronze ones. A swift reminder that the golden age was over. His victory inscription at the temple of Karnak lists over 150 conquered cities, providing important archaeological corroboration of the biblical account.
