וַיְהִי בַּשָּׁנָה הַחֲמִישִׁית לַמֶּלֶךְ רְחַבְעָם עָלָה (שושק) [שִׁישַׁק] מֶלֶךְ־מִצְרַיִם עַל־יְרוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃
And it was in the fifth year [of the reign] of king Rechavom, that Shishak, the king of Egypt, went up against Yerushlayim.
And it was in the fifth year [of the reign] of king Rechavom, that Shishak, the king of Egypt, went up against Yerushlayim.
Rashi
וַיִּקַּח אֶת־אֹצְרוֹת בֵּית־יְהֹוָה וְאֶת־אֽוֹצְרוֹת בֵּית הַמֶּלֶךְ וְאֶת־הַכֹּל לָקָח וַיִּקַּח אֶת־כׇּל־מָגִנֵּי הַזָּהָב אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה שְׁלֹמֹֽה׃
And he captured the treasures of the House of Adonoy and the treasures of the house of the king. He took everything; and he took all the golden shields that Shlomo had made.
And he captured the treasures of the House of Adonoy and the treasures of the house of the king. He took everything; and he took all the golden shields that Shlomo had made.
Rashi
ואת הכל לקח. את הכסא, החביב מן הכל:
He took everything. The throne, that was dearer to him than everything.
וַיַּעַשׂ הַמֶּלֶךְ רְחַבְעָם תַּחְתָּם מָגִנֵּי נְחֹשֶׁת וְהִפְקִיד עַל־יַד שָׂרֵי הָרָצִים הַשֹּׁמְרִים פֶּתַח בֵּית הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
King Rechavom made copper shields instead of them; and he made them the responsibility of the officers of the runners, who guarded the entrance of the kings house.

וַיְהִי מִדֵּי־בֹא הַמֶּלֶךְ בֵּית יְהֹוָה יִשָּׂאוּם הָרָצִים וֶהֱשִׁיבוּם אֶל־תָּא הָרָצִֽים׃
And whenever the king went to the House of Adonoy, the runners would carry them and then return them to the room of the runners.
And whenever the king went to the House of Adonoy, the runners would carry them and then return them to the room of the runners.
Rashi
ישאום הרצים. לפניו לכבוד, ואחר כך ישיבום אל תא שהרצים עומדים שם תמיד:
The runners would carry them. Before him, in [his] honor,8Alternatively, it may have been done as protection against a rebellion.—Radak and afterwards, they would return them9I.e., the copper shields. to the chamber where the runners were always stationed.
וְיֶתֶר דִּבְרֵי רְחַבְעָם וְכׇל־אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה הֲלֹא־הֵמָּה כְתוּבִים עַל־סֵפֶר דִּבְרֵי הַיָּמִים לְמַלְכֵי יְהוּדָֽה׃
The rest of the events of Rechavom, and all that he did; they are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the kings of Yehudah.

וּמִלְחָמָה הָיְתָה בֵין־רְחַבְעָם וּבֵין יָרׇבְעָם כׇּל־הַיָּמִֽים׃
There was war between Rechavom and Yerovom all the days.

וַיִּשְׁכַּב רְחַבְעָם עִם־אֲבֹתָיו וַיִּקָּבֵר עִם־אֲבֹתָיו בְּעִיר דָּוִד וְשֵׁם אִמּוֹ נַעֲמָה הָעַמֹּנִית וַיִּמְלֹךְ אֲבִיָּם בְּנוֹ תַּחְתָּֽיו׃ {פ}
And Rechavom slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of Dovid. His mother’s name was Naamoh the Ammonite. His son Aviyom reigned in his place.

שישק. מצינו במדרש שיר השירים (אסתר רבה א יב) הוא פרעה נכה, ונקרא שישק, על שהיה שוקק ומתאוה כל ימיו לכסא השן שהיה לשלמה חתנו, ועכשיו עלה ולקחו:
Shishak. We find in Midrash Shir Hashirim that this was Pharaoh Neco. He was called Shishak because all his life he longed for [=שוקק] the ivory throne that belonged to Shlomo his son-in-law, and now, he went up and took it.
