It's sort of confusing to me cause I haven't read a lot about it... they were all Semitic people living in that part of the world, I guess, but what were the relationships between them?

They were all Canaanites. Hebrew & Phoenician were mutually intelligible Canaanite dialects.

Am reading about Phoenicia now...
>Sometime between 1075 and 1060 BC an Egyptian envoy by the name of Wen-Amon visited Phoenicia and secured seven great cedar logs in exchange for a mixed cargo including "4 crocks and 1 kak-men of gold; 5 silver jugs; 10 garments of royal linen; 10 kherd of good linen from Upper Egypt; 500 rolls of finished papyrus; 500 cows' hides; 500 ropes; 20 bags of lentils and 30 baskets of fish."
Man, the Egyptians really wanted those logs.
