Letter no. 4 of 5 to Pharaoh, from "Milkilu of Gazru"-(modern Gezer):

"Say to the king, my lord, my god, my Sun: Message of Milkilu, your servant, the dirt at your feet. I fall at the feet of the king, my lord, my god, my Sun, 7 times and 7 times. May the king, my lord know the deeds that Yanhamu keeps doing to me since I left the king, my lord. He indeed wants 2000 shekels of silver from me, and he says to me, "Hand ov[er] your wife and your sons, or I will kill (you)." May the king know of this deed, and may the king, my lord, send chariots and fetch me to himself lest I perish."
