	Amurru (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The original members of the nation of Amurru (the Amorites) were a Semitic tribe in Syria, although they probably came from Arabia.
		The Amurru who troubled the Egyptians of the Eighteenth Dynasty inhabited a kingdom that included the coastal plain of Syria between Ugarit and Byblos.
		Amurru made up the northernmost of the three districts forming the "Land of Retenu".

		The old name is an ethnic term, evidently to be connected with the terms Amurru and Amar, used by Assyria and Egypt respectively.
		In the spelling Mar-tu, the name is as old as the first Babylonian dynasty, but from the 15th century BC and downwards its syllabic equivalent Amurru is applied primarily to the land extending northwards of Palestine as far as Kadesh on the Orontes.
		The wider extension of the use of Amurru by the Babylonians and Assyrians is complicated by the fact that it was even applied to a district in the neighbourhood of Babylonia.

		This battle marked a stalemate between Hittite power and the power of Dynasty 19 Egypt, where the two met face to face along their outermost marches, in what is now Syria.
		The Hittites, based at Carchemish, were angry over the defection of Amurru to Egypt and wanted to bring it back under control – on the other hand the Egyptians wanted to protect their new vassal.
		The Hittite king Muwatallis, who had mustered several of his allies (among them Rimisharrinaa, the king of Aleppo), had positioned his troops behind the hill at Kadesh, but Ramesses thought they were at Aleppo and learned the truth only after capturing two Hittites.

		Amurru was a small political entity that expanded greatly during the Amarna period in the territory stretching between Tripoli on the Lebanese coast and the Middle Orontes area of western Syria (Klengel 1969: 178-299; Singer 1991).
		EA 60 and 157 originated in the mountainous area and are composed of diverse shale fragments, ferruginous to argillaceous, and by ferruginous ooliths, quartz sand and siltstone.
		A cardinal problem related to the correspondence of Amurru is the identification of the city of Tunip mentioned in four letters sent by Aziru (EA 161, 165-167), in a letter sent by the citizens of Tunip (EA 59), and in other second millennium BCE documents (see Astour 1969: 390-98; 1977; Klengel 1969: 75-95).

		Its title explained that the treaty was formed “between Mursilis and Duppi-Tessub of Amurru.” The basis for entering in to it was that a treaty should be attractive to both kings due to the success that their fathers experienced under a treaty.
		The first military clause was general and established that Amurru was expected to be confident in the Hittite’s power and that of its allies, and that Amurru had to protect Hatti from foreign attack when the king was not present.
		Although there is no explicit evidence that suggests Amurru was a vassal of the Hittites, Mursilis’ terms of the treaty are very condescending compared to Duppi-Tessub’s and it is possible that the Amorites entered this agreement as an empire controlled by the Hittites.

		Although there are scattered references to it in other sources, Canaan is unequivocally the Biblical designation for the Semitic territory along the southern coast of the eastern Mediterranean and especially its hilly hinterland, a part of what had been called Amurru, the land of the Amorites, by the Akkadians of Mesopotamia.
		Amurru is vaguely all of the Levant, which is the coastland from the Sinai to Anatolia.
		However, it was the sea-faring Phoenicians who carried the alphabet to the Greeks, who did need vowels and so gave names, such as alpha and omega, for sounds the Semites used but did not mark.

	Amorites (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) :: Bible Tools
		The Hebrew form of it is a transliteration of the Babylonian Amurru, which was both sing.
		In the age of Abraham the Amurru were the dominant people in western Asia; hence Syria and Palestine were called by the Babylonians "the land of the Amorites." In the Assyrian period this was replaced by "land of the Hittites," the Hittites in the Mosaic age having made themselves masters of Syria and Canaan.
		The great-grandson of Khammu-rabi still calls himself "king of the widespread land of the Amorites," but two generations later Babylonia was invaded by the Hittites, the Amorite dynasty came to an end, and there was once more a "king of the Amorites" who was not also king of Babylonia.

		To those who remained behind, the land of Palestine was known as Amurru (the land to the West) and its occupants, whether Canaanite or Hebrew, were Amorites (westerners).
		But the term Amurru was not used consistently, for a Hebrew resident of Palestine might be called either a Canaanite or an Amorite by a dweller in ancient Babylonia (vide Cambridge Ancient History, Vol 1, 1929, p.
		The language of the Amurru was 'an earlier stage of the Hebrew language'.

	Leading up to the Battle of Kadesh
		It was the importance of Kadesh and Amurru that would eventually lead to the ultimate conflict between Egypt and Hatti.
		Being clever fellows, abdi-Ashirta and his son, while professing loyalty to their overlord Amenhotep III in Egypt, took advantage that pharaoh's relative indifference to Egypt's holdings in the region by expanding the new Amurru kingdom at the expense of a number of his neighbors.
		Yet, indications as evidenced by the annals of Mursilis seem to point to Kadesh's return to Hittite hands prior to Seti I's death in 1304 BC, but if this was the result of a treaty, as some suggest, it was not to the liking of his son and successor, Ramesses II.

		Hammurapi, the king of Babylon who created the Babylonian Empire, was an Amurru, one of the desert people called Amorite in the Bible.
		However, when his name, 'Hammurapi,' was first translated, it was translated as if it were Akkadian, which produced, 'Hammurabi.' Nineteenth century and many twentieth century texts show his name as Hammurabi.
		However, it is now generally agreed that the 'b' should have been 'p' and that his name was actually Hammurapi.

	Amorites and Arameans - chronological issues
		In New Chronology terms it would be a more positive step as Amurru was entering into a period of expansion at this stage, and Samuel's move would be seen as a precautionary move.
		By the time of the early divided monarchy Israel was preoccupied with events nearer at hand, and so the activities of an Amorite state beyond Tyre, Sidon and the Aramaean kingdom centred on Damascus would be of little interest.
		Since the collapse of the Hittite empire and the associated sacking of cities in the region of Amurru occurs conventionally around 1150 BCE, the conventional chronology requires that the state persisted after this, perhaps in a reduced form.
