Hoshea (jan 1, 758 BC – jan 1, 748 BC)

Description:

It appears that Hoshea was not fully recognized as king over Israel until sometime later, however. Second Kings 17:1 states that, in the 12th year of Ahaz, Hoshea “became king in Samaria over Israel for nine years.” So, it may be that at this point Hoshea was able to establish full control from Samaria. Possibly Assyrian backing at this point aided him, for the records of Assyrian King Tiglath-pileser III make the claim that he put Hoshea on the throne.​—See chart “Outstanding Dates During the Period of the Kings of Judah and of Israel” in CHRONOLOGY article.
