SHISHAK (Egyp. Shoshenk or Sheshonk I .). Founder of the 22nd Dyn. ( c [Note: circa, about.] . b.c. 950). He reigned at least 21 years. Jeroboam fled to him ( 1 Kings 11:40 ), and he plundered Jerusalem in the fifth year of Rehoboam ( 1 Kings 14:25 , 2 Chronicles 12:2 ). A long list of Palestinian towns of Israel, as well as of Judah, was engraved by Sheshonk on the south wall of the temple of Karnak, but Jerusalem has not been recognized among the surviving names in the list. Max Müller suggests that these towns may not have been conquered but that they merely paid tribute, hence the appearance of Israelitish towns among them.
