[Early Israel and the Surrounding Nations by Archibald Sayce]@TWC D-Link bookEarly Israel and the Surrounding Nations CHAPTER VII 85/171
Suta (Seti) the Commissioner of the king came to me; I gave 21 slavewomen and 20 male prisoners into the hands of Suta as a present for the king my lord.
May the king give counsel to his country! The country of the king is being destroyed, all of it.
Hostilities are being carried on against me. Behold, the mountains of Seir (see Josh, xv.
10) as far as Gath-Carmel have united against all the other governors and are at war with myself. If one looks, shall not one see the tears of the king my lord because war has been made upon me? While there were ships in the midst of the sea the arm of the Mighty King possessed Naharaim and Babylonia, but now the Khabiri possess the cities of the king (of Egypt).
Not a single governor remains (among them) to the king my lord; all are destroyed. Behold, Turbazu has been slain in the gate of the city of Zilu (Zelah), and the king does nothing.
