'As above we would note that in Rohl's revised chronology, the evidence is a precise match, so much so that David and Saul may be found in the Amarna tablets and the political situation matches exactly what it would be in the time of Akhenaten.'

What is Turkel on about?

Here is the letter in question?

'EA 256

To Yanhamu my lord, say: message of Mut-ba'lu your servant. At the feet of my lord I throw myself. Since it has been said in your presence: "Mut-ba'lu has fled [scribal hand glosses: "hidden"] Ayyab." How could the king of Pihili have fled before the commissioner of the king his lord? May the king my lord live, may the king my lord live , if Ayyab is in Pihili! It's been two months since he was here. Isn't Bin-Elima there? Ask him about it! Isn't Tadua there? Ask him about it! Isn't Yashuya there? Ask him about it! Truly, after the raid of Shulum-Marduk, Ashtartu gave aid, while all the cities of the land of Gari were enemies: Udunu, Aduru, Araru, Mishtu, Magdalu, Hini-anabi, Zarqu. Hayani and Yabishima were taken. Further, when you had written the letter, I wrote to him. When you arrive from your journey, he will have arrived in Pihili. I listen to (your) word.'

Where doe Turkel get David from in this????
