Early Israel and the Surrounding Nations

CHAPTER VII
96/171

There are Babylonians in my house.

Let the king my lord ask in regard to them..." * * * * * LETTER OF SUWARDATUM TO AMENOPHIS IV.
"To the king my lord, my gods, my Sun-god, thus speaks Suwardata thy servant, the dust of thy feet: at the feet of the king my lord, my gods, my Sun-god, seven times seven I prostrate myself.

The king my lord directed me to make war in the city of Keilah; I made war; it is (now) at peace with me; my city is restored to me.

Why does Ebed-Tob send to the men of Keilah, saying: 'Take silver and march after me'?
And the king my lord knows that Ebed-Tob has taken my city out of my hand.

Again let the king my lord inquire whether I have taken a man, or an ox, or an ass from him or his jurisdiction.
