Much later, early in the first millenium BCE, under influence from the (22 letter) Phoenician alphabet, the Greeks reorganized their alphabet and borrowed the Phoenician names of those 22 letters (aleph -> alpha, etc.), and their order (non-Phoenician letters were moved to the end).

970 BCE, we are told that David reigned 40 years (1 Kings 2:11) so 970 + 40 = 1010 BCE for the beginning of his reign, and, according to the New Testament, Saul reigned 40 years (Acts 13:21), 1010 + 40 = 1050 BCE for the beginnig of his rule.
That is to say, those scholars arguing for an Exodus circa 1446 BCE on the basis of 1 Kings 6:1 statement of 480 years elapsing from the Exodus to Solomon's 4th year have _no archaeological proof_ of Israel's presence in these areas.
