JONAH VS KING OF NINEVEH: HISTORICAL AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE by Gerard Gertoux

Judaean King Asa (957-916) asked Ben-Hadad I the son of Tabrimmon the son of Hezion I, the king of Syria (1Ki 15:18), to break his covenant with Baasha (954-931), the king of Israel. Several cities of Israel were taken (2Ch 16:1-7).

We only know that, according to Shalmaneser III’s Annals, there was already a powerful king of Aram (Syria) in Damascus at the time of Aššur-rabi II (1013-972).
