"Hedjkheperre Setepenre Shoshenq I (Egyptian ššnq, Tamazight : ⵛⵛⵏⵈ cecneq[citation needed], reigned c. 943–922 BC)—also known as Sheshonk or Sheshonq I[note 1]—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.
