“ The Raba Kita, having killed Kata, the lord of Bekeshi, the killers give 
notice that they prefer the Hadad Kita to Anub of Xois.” 
This defection in the League evidently took place while Anub was the 
leading figure in lower Egyptian history, and while he was in conflict 
with Hadad. The Bekeshi seem to have been the Paseachites, closely 
related to the Rephaim, and, in a measure, subject to them. Of the 
Paseachites came the Yoba Kita of the family of the patriarch Job, out 
of whose name, Hiob, arose the names of Iowa and Hiawatha, while the 
Canienga or Mohawk title was derived from his descendant Chanoch. 
Another inscription, Mr. Forster’s 99, indicates that the Rephaim 
became part of Ben-Hadad’s army.
