Shishak and "the Kingdom of Judah"

Victorious Shield Mentions Judah

Archaeologists discovered some sculptures upon the walls of Thebes in ancient Egypt at the magnificent temple of Karnak.

Among them was this figure above of an enemy captive with his arms tied behind his back, with a shield covering him. Upon the shield was written in Egyptian hieroglyphics: "Judah-Melek-Land" which means "the kingdom of Judah."

Shishak (or Shishank) is mentioned in the Bible as the Egyptian king who attacked Jerusalem during the time of Solomon and Rehoboam. 

"And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel. And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem: And he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made. "
