<< The Assyrians [Profile] >>

During the reign of King Hoshea of Israel (c. 758-740 B.C.E.), Shalmaneser V advanced into Palestine and Hoshea became his vassal under an imposition of annual tribute. (2Ki 17:1-3) However, at a later time Hoshea failed to pay the tribute and was found to be conspiring with King So of Egypt. (See SO.) For this, Shalmaneser placed Hoshea under detention and thereafter laid siege against Samaria for three years, after which the well-fortified city finally fell, and the Israelites were led into exile.​—2Ki 17:4-6; 18:9-12; compare Ho 7:11; Eze 23:4-10.

"In the fourth year of King Hezekiah, that is, the seventh year of Ho·sheʹa+ the son of Eʹlah the king of Israel, King Shal·man·eʹser of As·syrʹi·a came up against Sa·marʹi·a and began to lay siege to it.+"- 2 Kings 18:9

Father of SENNACHERIB

The Bible record does not specifically credit King Shalmaneser with the final capture of Samaria. Sargon II, who succeeded King Shalmaneser V to the Assyrian throne, makes claim to having taken the city. While many Assyriologists suggest that Shalmaneser died or was murdered while the siege was in progress, and that Sargon II completed the conquest, whether he actually did so is a subject of discussion. At any rate, Sargon’s records refer to the deportation of Israelites to the number of 27,290 persons and the transplantation to Samaria of people from other conquered lands.—See Ancient Near Eastern Texts, by James B. Pritchard, pages 284, 285.

Sennacherib appears to have been serving as a governor or general in the northern region of Assyria during his father’s reign.

Besieged by Sennacherib. Lachish was besieged by Assyrian King Sennacherib in 732 B.C.E. From there he sent Rabshakeh, Tartan, and Rabsaris with a heavy military force to Jerusalem in an effort to move King Hezekiah to surrender.​—2Ki 18:14
