David Rohl's Research (Re: 'A Test Of Time', re: Egyptian chronology)

TB: Easily. The other non-Amarna evidence *independently* aligns the Armana tablets with 1000BC - Habiru or no Habiru. *Then*, when we look at the Habiru of the Amarna tablets we see the yare doing things in the right places at the right times to be David's band of Hebrews!Jar: How is that?

letter from Abdu-Heba to Pharoah writes:
While the king, my Lord, lives, I will say to the commissioner of the king, my Lord: "Why do you favour the Hapiru [2] and are opposed to the rulers?"Yapahu to Pharoah writes:
Let the king, my lord, be aware that my younger brother, has rebelled against me and has entered Muhhazu, and he has given over his two hands to the leader of the 'Apiru.In addition, there are many letters that show regular commerce and politics and there are NONE that show any organized intrusion or army.

Certainly doesn't sound like David's son-in-law.

To the king my lord, [say: message from Ab]di-Heba, your servant. [At the feet] of the king my lord seven [and seven times I throw myself. Look], the entire question [..] they have introduced [..

May the king provide for his land! Look, the country of Gezer, the country of Ascalon, and Lachish have given food, oil, and every (gloss "their need'. May the king provide troops, send troops against the men who have committed treason against the king my lord. If within this year there are troops, the lands and the regents will stay with the king my lord, but if there are not troops, there will not be lands or regents for the king. Look, this land of Jerusalem, neither my father nor my mother gave me the strong hand (gloss 'arm' [the king] has given me! Look, this action is an action of Milki-Ilu and an action of the sons of Lab'aya, who have given the land of the king to the enemy (habiru).Again, no indication of some Nation State opposing them but rather city-state political rivalries, all of the city-states still under the rule of Egypt.

But remember, in addition to these there are also those that deal with normal commerce and politics.

Throughout the Armana letters there is simply no indication of the existence of David, Saul, Israel or any similar nation-state.
