There is some debate over the Israelite number of chariots...usually, alliances are listed with the amount of troops/equipment in descending order. Since the first two kings send 1200 and 700 chariots respectively, Israel should send have sent less than that. -RomeW

12 or 11?

The article states that the coalition had 12 kings, but only 11 are mentioned in the list. DMTsurel 07:48, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article states that Kizzuwadne is the phoenician city of Byblos. I remember that Kizzuwatna is the name of the early kingdom of Cilicia. (check Desideri & Jasink's book about Cilicia)

According to Mario Liverani's book (Antico Oriente - Laterza ) the number of arab camel-riders was 1000, not 10000.

THis article is in severe need of updating, old outdated identifications need to be removed (ie Kizzuwadne has no place here), several cities are erroneously named as kings, etc. 218.215.194.35 (talk) 00:29, 26 March 2008 (UTC)Joe Baker[reply]

There were only 11 on the inscription, the suggestion is that '12 kings' just meant an alliance. I've updated the list to reflect what the inscription says, removing someone's suggestion of who the kings were, the 'riders' of the camels as the inscription says camels (and reducing the number to 1000 from 10000). I wonder where in the world whoever put that stuff in the article got it from. --Doug Weller (talk) 15:57, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
