Jim:

I should take to heart what I wrote here:

https://lists.ibiblio.org/sympa/arc/b-hebrew/2009-May/038542.html

But the second part is still accurate, namely that the era described by the
Tel Amarna letters best describes ninth to eight centuries BC iron age, not
late bronze age. Hence this statement from 1 Kings makes sense if these are
Egyptians.
