1 Kings 14:25 and 1 Kings 14:26 show the reader God’s response of judgment to the idolatry of Judah. The writer tells us that the time frame is the fifth year of Rehoboam's reign, which is fairly soon after the division of the kingdom into north and south. This fact makes us aware that the Lord does not waste much time before he brings his displeasure to notice.
The judgment was in the form of an invasion of Judah at the hands of the king of Egypt, Shishak. This Pharaoh was the first of a new ruling family (dynasty) originating in Libya, and he is called Shoeshenq by other historical records. He is certainly to be distinguished from the Pharaoh who gave his daughter to be Solomon’s wife. The Pharaoh’s interest was to reassert the status of Egypt as a world power. One of the things that would contribute to this would be the control of the trade routes that passed through Israel and Judah.
Shishak brought his army against Jerusalem. Scholars differ as to whether they believe that he actually captured the city or succeeded in buying off the king of Egypt with the gift of the treasures of the temple, which included the golden shields that Solomon made as a display of his wealth. The fact that the writer says that the Egyptians took these things instead of receiving them as gifts argues for the idea that the city was captured.
We ought to take proper note of how quickly the massive wealth that Solomon gathered during his reign is depleted. Riches do not last.
