alled _Beth Baalath_,(332) a neighbor of the city of the King--has
rebelled, to delay the chiefs of the city of _Kielti_. Let the King hear
as to _Adonizedek_; and will not he order Egyptian soldiers (_pitati_),
and shall not the King's land turn to the King? And because there are no
Egyptian soldiers (_pitati_) the King's land has rebelled to the chiefs of
the tribe of the _Hebrews_. They have demanded to dwell in the same with
me. They have gone out against (or seized) _Milcilu_ ... and the city....
And let the King do justice to (or purify) his land."

104 B.--The same salutation from _Adonizedek_. He continues: "Lo! the King
my Lord has established his law from the (rising?) of the Sun to the going
down of the Sun. He is a flatterer who deceives as to me. Lo! am not I a
ruler myself, a man allied to the King my Lord? Lo! I myself am a good
chief of the King, and I have sent tribute to the King. There is no chief
to join me, and my friends (or army) fail; they have been fighting for the
King mightily. I remain ... in this _Beth Amilla_(333) ... from before me
thirteen ... I am giving ten slaves ... _Suuta_ the King's _Paka_
(resident) takes charge from before me of twenty-one slave women. Twenty
chiefs who remain trusty to my hand _Suuta_ has led away to the King my
Lord,(334) which the King advises to his country. The whole of the King's
country, which is seized from me, is ruined. They have fought against me
as far as the lands of _Seeri_ (Seir)(335) as far as the city _Givti
Kirmil_ (Gibeah of Carmel?).(336) They have banded together against all
the chiefs of the governments, and they have fought with me. Behold I, the
chief of the lords (or of the Amorites), am breaking to pieces,(337) and
the King my Lord does not regard entreaties, while they have fought
against me (unceasingly?). Behold array O mighty King a fleet in the midst
of the sea. Thou shalt march to our land, the land of _Nahrima_ and the
land of _Cazib_, and behold these are fortresses of the King.(338) Thou
shalt march against the chieftains of the _Hebrew_. There is not a single
ruler for the King my Lord. They have destroyed all. Lo _Tuurbazu_(339)
(is slaughtered?...): in the great pass of the city of _Ziluu_(340) they
have bowed down. Behold _Zimridi_ of the city of _Lachish_. The slaves
have subjected him; they have done as they chose(341).... The region of
_Rimmon_(342) laments: slaughter (is) in the midst ... the fort of _Zilu_
is overthrown ..
