Shoshenq I (Shishak?) (jan 1, 943 BC – nov 1, 922 BC)

Description:

Shoshenq I was a pharaoh of ancient Egypt and the founder of the Twenty-second Dynasty of Egypt. Of Meshwesh ancestry,
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.

He is presumed to be the Shishak mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, and his exploits are carved on the Bubastite Portal at Karnak.

This does not fit, however, with the record of division in Ezek 4/4-6 which places the Division of the Kingdom fairly accurately at 975 BC.
