And he took the fenced cities which pertained to Judah
Which Rehoboam had lately built, and placed his sons in them, ( 2 Chronicles 11:5-12 2 Chronicles 11:23 ) , these he took without any opposition:
and came to Jerusalem;
there being no army to oppose him; and so Sesostris took many countries without fighting, and among the rest Phoenicia, as Manetho F15 relates, in which Judea may be included.
