    Hi Karl,  

   Sorry, you got Ugarit's dates all wrong. They are
 easy to check.

   Also, the name of abdi-hebba's principality, Jerusalem,
 occurs in the Amarna tablets , LB age.

That is another question I have: do we have any
 indications of a god named Shalem from the early
 bronze age? Ugarit appears to be iron age, ca. ninth
to seventh centuries BC, with its destruction
 shortly after the destruction
of Jerusalem under Nebuchadnezzar...
