Inskriptionen afslører ikke kilden til denne rigdom, men i sin bog Skatte fra Bibelens tid, lader arkæologen Alan Millard formode at „meget af det har været det guld, som Shishak [Sjisjak] bortførte fra Salomons tempel og paladset i Jerusalem“.
The inscription does not reveal the source of this wealth, but archaeologist Alan Millard, in his book Treasures From Bible Times, suggests that “much of it was the gold which Shishak carried away from Solomon’s Temple and palace in Jerusalem.”jw2019 jw2019
