Thutmose III

“Then were captured their horses, their chariots of gold and silver were made spoil; their champions lay stretched out like fishes on the ground. The victorious army of his majesty went around counting their portions. Behold, there was captured the tent of that wretched foe [in] which was [his] son . . .”

“[Then spake his majesty ⸢on hearing⸣ the words of his army, saying: "Had ye captured [this city] afterward, behold, I would have given ———— (very many offerings to) Re this day; because every chief of every country that has revolted is within it; and because it is the capture of a thousand cities, this capture of Megiddo."”
