Shishak [Shī’shăk]—meaning of name obscure. Sesconchis I, founder of the twenty-second Bubastic dynasty, who reigned for twenty-one years. Jeroboam fled to him and was protected against Solomon. Shishak plundered Jerusalem in the fifth year of Rehoboam (1 Kings 14:25; 2 Chron. 12:2-9). His name has been found on the Egyptian monuments in the form of Sheshnok. He might have been of Ethiopian origin. Tradition has it that with the aid of the military caste, he dethroned the Pharaoh who gave his daughter to Solomon.
