Djahi, Djahy or Tjahi was the Egyptian designation for southern Retenu. It ran from approximately Ashkelon to Lebanon and inland as far as Galilee. It was the watershed of the Jordan river during the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt and Nineteenth dynasty of Egypt battles with Kadesh. Egyptian conflicts with Kadesh are first mentioned in the Twelfth dynasty of Egypt using the term Qdem in reference to people coming south from upper Retenu or the watershed of the Orontes river. Most of the fighting was in the mountains or hills of the region called Naharin meaning the rivers defining the borders of Syria, Lebanon, Aram, and Canaan. Naharin was a central part of Mitanni during the 15th and 14th century BC.
