Israel Stele Text(c. 1208 B.C.)
The (foreign) chieftains lie prostrate, saying
Peace. Not one lifts his head among the Nine
Bows. Libya is captured, while Hatti is
pacified.. Canaan is plundered, Ashkelon is
carried off, and Gezer is captured. Yenoam is
made into non-existence Israel is wasted, its
seed is not and Hurru is become a widow because
of Egypt. All lands united themselves in
peace. Those who went about are subdued by the
king of Upper and Lower Egypt . . . Merneptah.
