Its interesting to discover Egypt had no history with Israel for 521 years. Many battles took place north of Israel in Lebanon. The Egyptians Genesis 46:34 considered every shepherd an abomination could be another major reason the Egyptian pharaoah's and armies steered clear of Israel. Still after the Sea Peoples attacked Ramses III in his 8th year of reign and the Sea peoples brought down the Hittite empire, there soon was internal disorder in Egypt and any troops in Asia were called home to meet this new crisis. All troops returned home by Ramses VI reign. Not until the Libyan pharaoh Shishak was there an attack upon Israel as mentioned in the Bible.
