Contextual Overview
1 But in time, after Rechav‘am had consolidated his rulership and had become strong, he, and with him all Isra'el, abandoned the Torah of Adonai . 2 In the fifth year of King Rechav‘am, Shishak king of Egypt attacked Yerushalayim, because they had acted faithlessly toward Adonai . 3 He came out of Egypt with 1,200 chariots, 60,000 horsemen and a numberless army including Luvim, Suki'im and Ethiopians. 4 He captured the fortified cities of Y'hudah, then went to Yerushalayim. 5 Now Sh'ma‘yah the prophet came to Rechav‘am and the leaders of Y'hudah who had gathered in Yerushalayim because of Shishak and said to them, "Here is what Adonai says: ‘Because you have abandoned me, I have abandoned you to the hands of Shishak.'" 6 In response, the leaders of Isra'el and the king humbled themselves; they said, " Adonai is right." 7 When Adonai saw that they had humbled themselves, this word of Adonai came to Sh'ma‘yah: "Because they have humbled themselves, I will not destroy them but will grant them a measure of deliverance. My wrath will not be poured out on Yerushalayim through Shishak. 8 However, they will become his slaves, so that they will come to appreciate the difference between serving me and serving earthly kingdoms." 9 So Shishak king of Egypt attacked Yerushalayim. He took the treasures in the house of Adonai and the treasures in the royal palace — he took everything, including the gold shields Shlomo had made. 10 To replace them, King Rechav‘am made shields of bronze, which he entrusted to the commanders of the contingent guarding the gate to the royal palace.

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.
