jan 1, 740 BC - Ahaz Asks Assyria for Help

Description:

ASSYRIAN AND BIBLICAL CHRONOLOGIES ARE THEY RELIABLE? by Gerard Gertoux

At that time did king Ahaz send unto the kings of Assyria to help him (2Ch 28:16, American Standard Version), because at that time (in 740) the Assyrian kings were Tiglath-pileser III and his son and co- regent Shalmaneser V, thus the plural form was not a mistake.
