History
The name Aak, which appears on the tribute-lists of Thutmose III (c. 16th century BCE), may be a reference to Acre. The Amarna letters also mention a place named Akka.Burraburias II to Amenophis IV, letter No. 2 In the Bible, (Judges 1:31), Akko is one of the places from which the Israelites did not drive out the Canaanites. It was in the territory of the tribe of Asher. According to Josephus, Akko was ruled by one of Solomon's provincial governors. Throughout the period of Israelite rule, it was politically affiliated with Phoenicia rather than the Philistines. Around 725 BCE, Akko joined Sidon and Tyre in a revolt against Shalmaneser V.Becking Bob (1992) The Fall of Samaria: An Historical and Archaeological Study BRILL, ISBN 9004096337 pp 31-35



Now you will see why the Bible code is termed :

Rebelliousness of the sunrise.



Did you catch the historical note above, . . . ? Answer is, . . .

In the Bible, (Judges 1:31), Akko is one of the places from which the Israelites did not drive out the Canaanites. It was in the territory of the tribe of Asher.



Of course, the geography of Tribe of Asher, at city of Acco, also Akko, is a city in the Western Galilee region of northern Israel . . . the phrase

`Rebelliousness of the sunrise`, is due to the Israelites NOT being able to drive out the Canaanites.
