From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Secacah
      enclosure, one of the six cities in the wilderness of Judah,
      noted for its "great cistern" (Josh. 15:61). It has been
      identified with the ruin Sikkeh, east of Bethany.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Sheshach
      (Jer. 25:26), supposed to be equivalent to Babel (Babylon),
      according to a secret (cabalistic) mode of writing among the
      Jews of unknown antiquity, which consisted in substituting the
      last letter of the Hebrew alphabet for the first, the last but
      one for the second, and so on. Thus the letters sh, sh, ch
      become b, b, l, i.e., Babel. This is supposed to be confirmed by
      a reference to Jer. 51:41, where Sheshach and Babylon are in
      parallel clauses. There seems to be no reason to doubt that
      Babylon is here intended by this name. (See Streane's Jeremiah,
      l.c.)
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Shishak I
      =Sheshonk I., king of Egypt. His reign was one of great national
      success, and a record of his wars and conquests adorns the
      portico of what are called the "Bubastite kings" at Karnak, the
      ancient Thebes. Among these conquests is a record of that of
      Judea. In the fifth year of Rehoboam's reign Shishak came up
      against the kingdom of Judah with a powerful army. He took the
      fenced cities and came to Jerusalem. He pillaged the treasures
      of the temple and of the royal palace, and carried away the
      shields of gold which Solomon had made (1 Kings 11:40; 14:25; 2
      Chr. 12:2). (See {REHOBOAM}.) This expedition of the
      Egyptian king was undertaken at the instigation of Jeroboam for
      the purpose of humbling Judah. Hostilities between the two
      kingdoms still continued; but during Rehoboam's reign there was
      not again the intervention of a third party.
