According to traditional chronology, 1200 BCE was in the early part of the era of the Judges, around the time of Deborah (Judges ch.4).
A victory stele erected by Egyptian king Merneptah (reign: 1213 to 1203 BCE) says that his army wiped out the Israelites in 1205 BCE. Clearly this was an exaggeration, as the Hebrew population recovered. The language of the stele suggests that the Israelites were a primitive, rural community, with no cities of note, which is consistent with the findings of archaeologists. In 1200 BCE, just five years later, the Hebrews were probably just trying to live a normal life, keeping out of the way of the Egyptians.
