With all the books I've had and read about Egypt and especially the New Kingdom I was surprised to see that during the New Kingdom that chart shows Egypt having control after the Canaanites and before the Jebusites whom King David bought the temple mount from the Late Bronze Age (1550–1200 B.C.).

I found this article from BAS
When Egyptian Pharaohs Ruled Bronze Age Jerusalem

A bit from that article:

The Egyptian artifacts date to the 13th century B.C.E., during the 19th Egyptian Dynasty that included the reign of Ramesses II. Peter van der Veen writes, “Egypt was not new to Canaan in the 19th dynasty … Canaan was in effect an Egyptian province during the 14th century B.C.E.” In the famous Amarna letters, Abdi-Heba, the puppet-king of Jerusalem, proclaims that “the king has placed his name in Jerusalem forever.” While Bronze Age Jerusalem was not situated on Canaanite trade routes, Peter van der Veen notes that it controlled north-south traffic between Hebron and Shechem, as well as east-west traffic from the Via Maris to the King’s Highway. The Egyptians established a garrison at Manahat, just two miles southwest of Bronze Age Jerusalem.
