Exegesis
The prepositional phrase al-yerushalayim {עַל־יְרוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם | ʿal-yə-rû-šā-lā-yim} ‘against Jerusalem’ expresses hostile orientation; in English, this is naturally rendered with a subject before the verb while retaining the temporal fronting and the adversative force of ‘against’.
In context — 1 Kings 14:25
And it happened in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem.
