David, Solomon and Egypt: A Reassessment (JSOT Supplement)

Ash re-examines the question of the relationship between Egypt and Palestine during the time of David and Solomon. By analysing all the available evidence-epigraphical sources from Egypt, archaeological data from Palestine and the pertinent biblical texts-he concludes that relations and contacts between Egypt and the peoples inhabiting ancient Palestine at the time of David and Solomon were minimal. Any reconstructions of the history of relations and contacts between Egypt and Palestine, including ancient Israel, must take this study into consideration.Paul S. Ash is the author of 'David, Solomon and Egypt: A Reassessment (JSOT Supplement)', published 1999 under ISBN 9781841270210 and ISBN 1841270210.
