There's something else going on here. -- Pharaoh was so pleased with Hadad that he gave him a sister of his own wife, Queen Tahpenes, in marriage. The sister of Tahpenes bore him a son named Genubath, whom Tahpenes brought up in the royal palace. There Genubath lived with Pharaoh’s own children.

| Former defence secretary Jim Mattis has warned of the
| difficulty of opening the Strait of Hormuz militarily,
| adding that the US must lean on diplomacy to end the crisis.
|
| "It would be a very difficult thing to force it," he said,
| speaking at the CeraWeek energy conference. "You would need
| an unblinking eye in the sky, satellites and unmanned
| aerial vehicles, 24/7 and you think of doing this over a
| coastline much longer than Texas's."
|
| "At some point we're going to need to get the diplomats
| involved. There's a way to make this work but it will have
| to be done in three different ways: allies, allies,
| allies," he added.
|
| However, Mattis also said a retreat from the strait would
| embolden Iran: "I don't think we can just walk away from
| this and say we won. We're in a tough spot and I can't
| identify a lot of options."

| 'Everything After This Will Be Harder': Gen. Stanley
| McChrystal on Iran
| ...
| But for Iranians about my age -- I'm 71 now -- for an
| Iranian, it really starts in 1953, when the U.S. and
| British intelligence services overthrew the
| constitutionally elected prime minister and put back into
| power the Peacock Regime of the Shah.
|
| They oppressed the people tremendously, particularly
| through Savak, the secret police. So, when the Iranian
| revolution erupts in 1978, we may have been surprised, but
| the Iranian people were not surprised.

| Absolute humiliation for the Pentagon. Trump accidentally
| admits the multi billion dollar US Navy is completely
| paralyzed in the Strait of Hormuz. He confesses they are
| terrified that just a single Iranian missile will easily
| sink a billion dollar ship.
