Shishak, King of Egypt (946–923 BCE), invades Palestine: He marches through southern Judah, the valley of Jezreel, the valley of Beth Shean, even crossing the Jordan to the east. A list of the cities he sacked is preserved in the temple of Amon at Karnak: it includes Gibeon, Jerusalem, Megiddo – where part of a stele bearing his name was found – Aijalon, Beth Shean, and many more. His campaign badly weakens Israel which has only recently split into two kingdoms.
