Contextual Overview
1When Rehoboam had established his sovereignty and royal power, he abandoned the law of the Lord—he and all Israel with him. 1 It happened, when the kingdom of Rechav`am was established, and he was strong, that he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Yisra'el with him. 1 And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the Lord , and all Israel with him. 1 When the rule of Rehoboam was established and he was strong, he abandoned the law of the Lord , and all Israel with him. 1 After Rehoboam's kingdom was set up and he became strong, he and the people of Judah stopped obeying the teachings of the Lord . 1 After Rehoboam's rule was established and solidified, he and all Israel rejected the law of the Lord . 1When the kingdom of Rehoboam was established and strong, he and all Israel with him abandoned the law of the LORD. 1 When the kingdom of Rehoboam was established and strong, he and all Israel with him abandoned the Law of the LORD. 1 It happened, when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and he was strong, that he forsook the law of Yahweh, and all Israel with him. 1 And when Rehoboam had established the kingdome and made it strong, hee forsooke the Lawe of the Lord, and all Israel with him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass in the fifth year of Rehoboam,.... In the fourth year, the apostasy of him and his people began; and, in the year following, what is next related happened, as a punishment of it:
Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem; of whom see
1 Kings 11:40,
because they transgressed against the Lord; transgressed the law of the Lord by falling into idolatry and other abominable evils; the Targum is,
"against the Word of the Lord.''
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Shishak ... came up ... because they had transgressed - The writer speaks from a divine, not a human, point of view. Shishakâs motive in coming up was to help Jeroboam, and to extend his own influence.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Chronicles 12:2. Shishak king of Egypt — Concerning this man, and the motive which led him to attack the Jews, see the note on 1 Kings 14:31.
Transgressed against the Lord — "Against the WORD of the Lord." - Targum.
