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.
