*Rohl also argued that a nickname found for Ramesses II (and also used for Ramesses III), read as “se-se” from the hieroglyphic, may have been corrupted by the Hebrews with an added “K” sound at the end to signify contempt, becoming “se-sek.” In Hebrew it would have been written as שישק “sysq”, or “sha-shek”, which in Hebrew means "one who crushes". Van der Veen argues this equation recently(2015).[http://www.academia.edu/13445926/The_Name_Shishaq_Shoshenq_or_Shyshu_q_Responding_to_the_Critics_and_Assessing_the_Evidence_in_P._James_and_P._van_der_Veen_eds._Solomon_and_Shishak_BAR_International_Series_2732_Archaeopress_Oxford_2015]. Troy Leiland Sagrillo argues the traditional view that the biblical Shishaq is Sheshonk I.[https://www.academia.edu/13269463/Shoshenq_I_and_biblical_%C5%A0%C3%AE%C5%A1aq_A_philological_defense_of_their_traditional_equation]

The weakening of Israel and Judah at the time of Shishak’s invasion, assuming he was indeed Ramesses II, would fit well with the inscription on the Mereneptah Stele by that later pharaoh (and Ramesses’ successor), which stated “Israel is desolate; his seed is no more.”
