The Raid of Pharaoh Shishak
Following his victory over the Kingdom of Judah, Pharaoh Shishak (or Sheshonq I) launched a devastating military campaign throughout Canaan, aiming to re-establish Egyptian dominance over the Levant. The raid targeted dozens of cities, from Gaza to the Jezreel Valley, systematically dismantling local defenses and extracting massive tributes of gold and silver. Today, we find a record of this conquest is immortalized in the Ballas Relief at Karnak, providing an invaluable link between Egyptian records and biblical history.
