Let's see shall we

Short Range

It's a common misconception (one which has been pointed out many times on this wiki itself) that iron is a superior weapon to bronze. In actuality Bronze is the better material because it is harder and less likely to bend in combat and therefore the Khopesh is the superior weapon despite the weapons being equal in terms of length and weight.

Edge: Ramesses II

Mid Range

Javelins are useless. Well not useless but in a small skirmish they are too inaccurate to be of much use. The Assyrian Spear might be made of the inferior metal but it does has the furthest reach out of the melee weapons here.

Edge: Ramesses II
