Hyksos, they were numerous and tough to get rid of. Eventually (more than 1500 years) they came back to conquer Egypt again -- they're a.k.a. Arabs.

Theses for the Reconstruction of Ancient History
From the End of the Middle Kingdom in Egypt to the Advent Of Alexander the Great

37. Two kingdoms rose on the ruins of the Hyksos Empire: the kingdom of Israel under David, and the New Kingdom of Egypt under the Eighteenth Dynasty. The beginnings of these two dynasties are not separated by six centuries; they started simultaneously.
38. The Egyptian Queen Tahpenes, the sister-in-law of Hadad the Edomite, was a wife of Ahmose.
39. Thutmose I attacked Gezer of the Philistines and gave it to Solomon, his son-in-law.
40. Queen Sheba is identical with Queen Hatshepsu[t].
41. The information of Josephus that the queen-guest ruled Egypt and Abyssinia, is correct.
42. The theories which place Punt and God's Land in either South Arabia or Africa are equally wrong. Hatshepsu[t]'s expedition, pictured in the temple of Deir el Bahari near Thebes, went to Palestine-Phoenicia.
43. By the time of the Old Kingdom, Palestine was already known as God's Land or Holy Land. The tribe of Menashe lived in Palestine already at the time of the Old Kingdom in Egypt.
44. A preliminary expedition dispatched by Hatshepsu[t] to prepare the way for the main expedition, was met by Peruha, the biblical Paruah, governor of Ezion-Geber.
45. The correction of the verses I Kings 4, 16-17 which place Aloth in the domain of the son of Paruah, is well founded.
46. Queen Hatshepsu[t] participated personally in the main expedition to Ezion-Geber, Jerusalem, and Phoenicia. Her intention was to see what she had known "by hearsay" only.
47. The return voyage was made by sea from the Palestinian shore to Thebes on the Nile, and a second fleet was used. In the days of Hatshepsu[t] there was no canal connecting the Nile with the Red Sea.
48. Jewish officers in the service of Solomon are portrayed on the walls of Deir El Bahari.
49. Exotic animals and plants, including the algum-trees "never seen before", which Queen Hatshepsu[t] received as gifts in God's Land, had been brought by the navy of Hiram and Solomon from Ophir. They are seen in the pictures of the expedition.
50. Gifts were also presented to Hatshepsu[t] by messengers of Hiram.
51. Solomon was not an obscure prince, as he is often represented. The riches of his kingdom astounded the Egyptians under their most magnificent monarch.
52. Silver-covered floors in the Jerusalem of Solomon were an actual feature; such floors were also built in the palaces of the viziers of Hatshepsu[t].
53. The architecture and ordinances of the Temple of Solomon were copied in the Temple of Amon at Deir El Bahari. The plan of this structure and its terraces can help in the reconstruction of the plan of the Temple of Solomon.
54. The Songs of Mounting, which are included among the Psalms, were sung by priests while ascending the terraces.
55. The office of High Priest was introduced into the Egyptian service in imitation of a similar post in the service in Jerusalem. The word pontifex is derived ultimately from the word Punt. The last word means Phoenicia.
56. The Abyssinian tradition preserved the name of the Queen of the South as Makeda, which is derived from the personal name of Hatshepsu[t] (Make-Ra).
57. The Arabic claim that Queen Sheba was their Queen Bilkis, is unfounded.
58. The traditional origin of some Hebrew legends concerning Queen Sheba can be traced in the life and appearance of Hatshepsu[t].

The Hyksos are now widely recognized by historians, not as Arabs, but as “The Sea People”, possible emigres from Greece who eventually became the Phoenicians and, later, the Philistines that settled Canaan and gave the Israelites so much trouble. They also found Carthage.
