You make several mistakes. First, Abraham was a shepherd from 2000BC. Which does match in time with IndoEuropeans shepherds invading all the lands North of the Caucasus and The Black Sea, deep into Western Europe. Your thesis that Hammurabi (1700s BC) may have come from a related shepherd tribe is a possibility, even though a city like Babylon requires something more than shepherds, maybe educated traders, to be founded.
The Sea Peoples happened in 1200BC, and the must have been J2, because the most likely thing is they were Greeks. Because they came to Egypt and Israel from the Sea, and they attacked Troy around the same time.
Well, but Indo-Europeans were not the only pastoral people, and legend says it that Abraham came from Northern Mesopotamia, therefore from typically Semitic lands (the source of many expansive Semitic peoples, who are also - don't forget it - mainly PASTORAL, not farming-based, societies -, from Akkadians to Assyrians). Semitic semi-nomadic shepherds and traders (don't underestimated herders, they were often not just warriors and shepherds, but also metallurgists and long-distance traders) conquering settled, urbanized and farming-based societies and soon adapting to and merging with them was a tale that can be told multiple time throughout the history of the Middle East. Amorites, Arameans, Chaldeans, Israelites, Arabs, etc. So, considering the entire mythology and belief system surrounding Abraham and his descendants is typically Semitic with Mesopotamian influences, any link to Indo-European is at best speculative, but probably delusional (a quality that is often found in ethnocentric, staunchly racialist and ultranationalist people).
Also, the expansion of pastoralists north of the Caucasus and the Black Sea, deep into Western Europe, happened CENTURIES before 2,000 B.C., and was mainly linked to CWC and Bell Beaker, therefore largely happened between 2900 and 2300 B.C.
