	Y2K BCE: Problems in the chronology of the early Middle Bronze Age and the role of radiocarbon dating (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Despite Beck’s concerns already in 1985 that inter-regional differences limit the utility of the Aphek sequence, a characteristic that has been further underscored by the evidence from Kabri and Dan, some of her seminal observations still hold, particularly her identification of the so-called Levantine Painted Ware as a ceramic hallmark of the early MB IIa.
		At present, based primarily on the intra-site typological development at Aphek, there is more or less an accepted scheme of relative synchronizations (chronological chart), with a tripartite division that is considered MB IIa proper, and a fourth phase used to mark the transition to the MB IIb period.
		This example from Aphek Palace II phase is the earliest found so far and is considered by Weinstein to date to no earlier than the 13th Dynasty.

		So he judged their counsel to be good, and acted according to it in the management of the army.

		There were several Apheks in Palestine; but the mention of Eben-ezer determines this "Aphek" to be in the south, among the mountains of Judah, near the western entrance of the pass of Beth-horon, and consequently on the borders of the Philistine territory.
		The first encounter at Aphek being unsuccessful, the Israelites determined to renew the engagement in better circumstances.
		Their first measure for restoring the national spirit and energy ought to have been a complete reformation--a universal return to purity of worship and morals.
