EGYPTIANS, Invade the land of Israel

1 Kings 14:25-26

25. In the fifth year of king Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem,
26. and he took away the treasures of The LORD's house, and the treasures of the king's house. He even took away all of it, including all the gold shields which Solomon had made.

2 Chronicles 12:2-9

2. In the fifth year of king Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed against The LORD,
3. with twelve hundred chariots, and sixty thousand horsemen. The people were without number who came with him out of Egypt: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.
4. He took the fortified cities which belonged to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.
5. Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, who were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, "The LORD says, 'You have forsaken me, therefore I have also left you in the hand of Shishak.'"
6. Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, "The LORD is righteous."
7. When the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, The LORD's word came to Shemaiah, saying, "They have humbled themselves. I will not destroy them; but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath won't be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
8. Nevertheless they will be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries."
9. So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem and took away the treasures of The LORD's house and the treasures of the king's house. He took it all away. He also took away the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
