jun 1, 738 BC - Tiglath-pileser III overthrew Pekah, Appoints Hoshea as King

Description:

ASSYRIAN AND BIBLICAL CHRONOLOGIES ARE THEY RELIABLE? by Gerard Gertoux

Thus, in 738 BCE, Tiglath-pileser III overthrew the king Pekah and placed Hoshea as king over the inhabitants of Samaria, what fits perfectly with the biblical text:
*In the days of Pekah the king of Israel, Tiglath-pileser the king of Assyria came in and proceeded to take Ijon and Abel-beth-maacah and Janoah and Kedesh and Hazor and Gilead and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and to carry them into exile in Assyria. Finally Hoshea the son of Elah formed a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah and struck him and put him to death; and he began to reign in place of him in the 20th year of Jotham the son of Uzziah (2Ki 15:27-30).
