Hedjkheperre Setepenre Shoshenq I (
Egyptian ššnq), also known as Shishak, Sheshonk or Sheshonq I (for discussion of the spelling, see
Shoshenq), was a
Meshwesh Libyan king of
Egypt and founder of the
Twenty-second Dynasty. Shoshenq I was the son of Nimlot A, Great Chief of the
Ma, and his wife Tentshepeh A, a daughter of a Great Chief of the
Ma herself. The majority of
archaeologists and
Egyptologists, including
Kenneth Kitchen and Aidan Dodson, believe he is mentioned in the
Hebrew Bible as שׁישׁק Šîšaq (
transliterated as
Shishaq and Shishak) though this identification has been questioned by
David Rohl,
Peter James, and other adherents of the so-called
New Chronology.
