Thompson (‘The Victory Song of Merenptah, Israel and the People of Palestine’, JSOT 27.1 [2002], pp. 3-18), concerning the nature of the war-inscriptions of Merenptah of Egypt, and especially of the role of his triumph-hymn and the significance of the mention of Israel in that document, in pointing out standard Egyptian usage of the New-Kingdom period (sixteenth-twelfth centuries BCE) to which Merenptah’s texts conform, and correcting misunderstandings of these data by Hjelm and Thompson and some of their precursors.
