  Digging Into The Past   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Pharaoh Sheshonk I of Egypt was the founder of the twenty-second dynasty in Egypt and ruled from about 945 to 915 B.C. In the Bible this ruler is called Shishak.
In the excavation of Megiddo "a fragment of a stela of Shishak was found" (Finegan, Light From the Ancient Past, p.183).
Shishak's inscription is significant because it records the first personal Biblical name (Shishak) to be found outside the Bible in a contemporary record, and, for the time being, it is the last Egyptian inscription of importance to Biblical studies.

 SHISHAK in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE (Bible History Online)

Another remarkable circumstance is, that these Israelitish conquests of Shishak are all of Levitical or else of ancient Canaanite cities, and that they are of towns in all parts of the territory of the ten tribes, and at considerable distances from one another, there being, however, no mention of the taking of the intervening cities.
This is why they were attacked and conquered by Shishak on his expedition against Judah, as virtually subject to the house of David, and hence constituting an element not only of rebellion but of danger within the new kingdom of Israel.
On the capture of Jerusalem, Shishak is said to have taken it, and the possession of this treasure is then traced through various wars to Rome, where it is said now to be.

Shishak, according to 2 Chronicles 12, "captured the fortified cities of Judah" five years after the death of King Solomon.
However, the mis-identification of Shishak with Sheshonq was not overturned, and has remained the cornerstone of ancient chronology.
The New Chronology determination that the Biblical King Rehoboam (besieged by Shishak) and the Pharaoh Ramses II were contempories is secured by several archaeological finds and a completely independent synchronism, that being the recording of a rare solar eclipse in the reign of the 18

 The Megiddo Expedition
After Solomon's death the kingdom split apart, the north seceding from the south, Solomon's son Rehoboam became king of Judah, the southern kingdom, and Jeroboam, son of Nabat, became king of Israel, the northern kingdom.
Then, "in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, King Shishak of Egypt marched against Jerusalem and carried off the treasures of the house of the Lord and the treasures of the royal palace" (I Kings 14:25-26).
Perhaps this was caused by conflicts during the breakup of the kingdom or by later events, rather than by Shishak.

The relationship between Jeroboam and Shishak was a close one and they became not only allies, but Shishak gave in marriage to Jeroboam, Ano, the eldest sister of his own wife Thelkemina.
It was at this point that Shishak the ally of Jeroboam, attacked from the south with a massive army consisting of 1,200 chariots, 60,000 horsemen, and" people without number that came with him out of Egypt: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians." II Chron.
Because Rehoboam had dealt treacherously with the Lord, he was surrounded on all sides, Jeroboam with the ten tribes in the north, Shishak with an immense army in the south.

 Pharaoh Sheshonk
From that moment on, Shoshenk I, founder of the 22nd Dynasty, became Shishak of scripture.
The famous city list of pharaoh Sheshonk of the 22nd dynasty, long held to be Pharaoh Shishak's campaign to Jerusalem, is in reality his campaign to lend support to Jehoahaz of Israel against Hazael, king of Damascus which took place in about 816-810 BC.
The implication is that `Shishak' was a name (Horus name) for Thutmose and has nothing to do with a pharaoh of the 22nd Dynasty by the name of Sheshonk.

and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak; suffered him to invade their land, take their fenced cities, and come up to Jerusalem without any opposition, as a punishment of their apostasy; and to explain this providence to them, and call them to repentance, was the prophet sent.
and my wrath shall not be poured out against Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak; that is, to the uttermost; that was reserved to another time, and to be done by another hand, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
The Vulgate Latin version is, "departed from Jerusalem," as he did, having taken it, and spoiled it of its riches, and settled a yearly tax on the inhabitants of the land; of this, and the two following verses, See Gill on "1Ki 14:26".

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, (1 Kings 11:40) and it was probably at the instigation of Jeroboam that he attacked Rehoboam.
(1 Kings 14:25,26; 2 Chronicles 12:2-9) Shishak has left a record of this expedition sculptured on the wall of the great temple of El-Karnak.

It was at this critical point in time, however, that King Shishak suddenly led a surprise invasion from the south.
This connection is so significant to the study of Egyptian history that one scholar has claimed, “Egyptologists use the identification of Shishak as Shoshenq as the most powerful of anchor points in their chronology” (Sanders).
Though Shishak remains the first foreign king mentioned in the Bible for which there may be extra-biblical evidence, the Hebrew and Egyptian accounts do not always seem to agree in this area.
