After the settlement of Israel in Canaan, we read of an alliance between Solomon and Egypt (1 Kgs. 3: 1; 1 Kgs. 9: 16; 1 Kgs. 10: 28), but the Egyptian king Sheshonk, or, as scripture calls him, Shishak, gave a welcome to Jeroboam, Solomon?s adversary (1 Kgs. 11: 40), and a few years afterwards conquered Rehoboam and took Jerusalem (1 Kgs. 14: 25-26). Later on, Assyria and Egypt became great rival powers, and an alliance with Egypt against Assyria was for some time the policy of the kings of Judah. Isaiah opposed this alliance (Isa. 30: 1-5), and it was in resisting the advance of Necho, king of Egypt, that Josiah was killed at Megiddo. After the establishment of the Persian supremacy in the East, Egypt was invaded by Cambyses and became a province of the Persian empire. It next became part of the dominions of Alexander the Great, and on the downfall of the Greek empire passed into the hands of the Romans.
