I wad reading the good word yesterday and I read the book of Psalms and throughout it I was hearing about battles identical to those of the end of the Amarna period ot made me wonder is the book the recording of those events.

Traditional (old) chronology would place Amarna in the 14th C BCE and Psalms in 11th-10th C BCE. But under the "New" Chronology of David Rohl and others it is possible that Amarna was 11th C BCE. It is thought by NCists that Labaya of the Amarna letters might be Saul. I don't have access to my library while here in Egypt, but will see if I can locate some links.
