Seti I campaigned to re-establish Egyptian domination over Canaan, to an extent that hadn't existed since the loosening of control under Amenhotep III. The Hebrews might have gained a foothold on their own, but it was by Seti's permission that the Hebrews stayed on the West Bank.
Seti killed Esau & Eglon for their involvement in the Heresy at Peor, and installed Ehud as the judge.
