Hebrews

Left to right, front row: open-order javelins, three units of slingers, two more units of open-order javelins; middle row: six units of auxiliaries; rear row: five chariot squadrons
The 17 units allow me to field any Hebrew army for Neil Thomas's biblical rules in Ancient & Medieval Wargaming up to the end of the reign of David's son Solomon.
After him, Thomas recommends using the Canaanite & Philistine list for both the northern kingdom (Israel) and the southern kingdom (Judah).
The troops' lack of uniforms, and generally undistinguished clothing, means all the units could easily be fielded in many other Middle Eastern forces without looking out of place.
