EXAMINATION OF ANACHRONISMS IN BIBLICAL AND ASSYRIAN CHRONOLOGIES by Gerard Gertoux

They also brought back King Manasseh (697-642) to put him in jail, but they released him rapidly during the eponymy of Atarilu in 673 BCE (Briend, Seux: 1977, 99-102,128-129), which marked the end of the 65-year period (738 BCE = 673 BCE + 65) of Assyrian persecution (Is 7:8-9).

Unfortunately, Ashurbanipal's Chronicles for events of his Year 8 are broken at this location and his Year 9 was omitted (bad omen?). We just learned that Esarhaddon's first wife Ešarra-ḫamat died the 5/XII/8 (March 672 BCE) and there were seven substitute kings (a false king appointed to neutralize a bad omen) between 679 and 669 BCE. Clearly, Year 8 of Esarhaddon, in 672 BCE, when Manasseh was released, was damaging for the Assyrians but they did not give any reason why.
