The Canaanites never had a single ruler. What The Bible describes as Canaan was really a group of West Semitic city-states, each ruled by its own petty king. The Amarna letters, written around 1270 BCE show how Canaan was a patchwork of cities, each ruled over by a petty king who accepted the ultimate colonial authority of the Egyptian pharaoh.
