If the dates proposed by Kitchen and others for Sheshonq are off by a few
decades, this would force Thiele, Tadmor, Galil etc. to reconfigure their
dates for the earlier kings of Israel and Judah, but there's not a lot of
leeway. The campaigns of Tiglath-pileser III, Shalmaneser V and Sargon II,
not to mention Sennachrib, are all dated independently, so that their
correlations to biblical chronology are firm.


Thiele etc cannot adjust their dates because they have a full set of data. By comparison the dates the Egyptologists have are based on very scanty data. I predict that they will find new data which will force them to adjust some of the details of their reconstruction - but they will manage to make compensatory adjustments to get back to the Thiele etc date for Shishak.
