From Wikipedia:michel said:History tells us that for several years after 1445 B.C. Amenhotep II was unable to carry out any invasions or extensive military operations. This would seem like very strange behavior for a pharaoh who hoped to equal his father's record of no less than seventeen military campaigns in nineteen years. But this is exactly what one would expect from a pharaoh who had lost almost all his cavalry, chariotry, and army at the Red Sea (Exodus 14:23, 27-30).
Amenhotep II
Aakheperure Amenhotep II (d. 1400 BC) was the seventh Pharaoh of the 18th dynasty of Egypt. He ruled from 1427 BC to 1400 BC.
Amenhotep II was the son of Thutmose III and a minor wife, Hatshepsut-Meryetre. Amenhotep may have been co-regent with his father before he ascended to the throne. Not long after his coronation a portion of Syria rebelled against his rule. He set out and subdued the rebellious city and captured seven princes. The princes were hung upside down on the prow of his ship, a common punishment for rebel leaders in Pharaonic Egypt. Upon reaching Thebes all but one of the princes were mounted on the city walls. The other was taken to the often rebellious territory of Nubia and hung on the city wall of Napata, as an example to any who dare rebel. Amenhotep briefly led another campaign into Syria in 1418 BC.
Amenhotep was not solely a warrior, but also a diplomat, who became the first Pharaoh to sign a peace treaty with the Mitanni. The Pharaoh also established cordial relations with Babylonians and Hittites in exchange for acknowledging Egypt as hegemon of the region. With peace secured, Amenhotep set about various building projects. He commissioned a column to stand in the courtyard between the fourth and fifth pylons in the Temple of Karnak commemorating the agreement between him, Artatama I and other Mitanni leaders. He also built a temple to Horemakhet near the Great Sphinx at Giza and expanded the Temple of Karnak.
