>From the totality of the context, we are dealing with a Philistine king
living in an early bronze age city that apparently, for what ever reason,
did not survive the early bronze age. Seeing as the Philistines lived to the
west of Beersheba, the closest Qadesh that I know of is Qadesh Barnea, hence
my understanding.
