'Thebes' in the Bible

The LORD of the Heavenly Armies, the God of Israel says, "Look, I'm going to punish Amon of Thebes, Pharaoh, Egypt, its gods and its kings, Pharaoh, and those who trust in him.

I'm going to turn Pathros into a desolation, set fire to Zoan, and judge Thebes.

I'll pour out my anger on Sin, Egypt's strong fortress, and I'll eliminate the gangs in Thebes.

I'll set fire to Egypt, and Aswan will writhe in agony. Thebes will be demolished, and Memphis will face daily distress.

"Are you any better than Thebes, which sits by the upper Nile, surrounded by water? The sea was her defense, the waters her wall of protection.
