Exegesis
A fronted temporal frame, bashanah hachamishit {בַּשָּׁנָ֥ה הַחֲמִישִׁ֖ית | baš-šā-nāh ha-ḥă-mî-šît} ‘in the fifth year’, anchors the event to a regnal chronology; the following phrase lamelekh rechavam {לַמֶּ֣לֶךְ רְחַבְעָ֑ם | lam-me-lek rə-ḥaḇ-ʿām} uses the lamed construction as a dating idiom meaning “in the reign of King Rehoboam.”
In context — 1 Kings 14:25
And it happened in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem.
