EXAMINATION OF ANACHRONISMS IN BIBLICAL AND ASSYRIAN CHRONOLOGIES by Gerard Gertoux

This inscription [The inscription of Sargon II, found at Tang-i Var] written in chronological order (Luckenbill: 1927, 1-25), situates the battle against Shabataka during the capture of Ashdod in 712 BCE, thus confirming the coincidence of Sennacherib's 3rd campaign during his co- regency (715-705) and Sargon's 10th campaign during his reign (722-705). The two Assyrian kings thus campaigned together, but Sennacherib had his third campaign engraved only when he was king, after the death of his father, and not during his co-regency15, which began in 715 BCE. Some authors have also noted an anomaly (underlined) in line 44 of the inscription: “They counted (them) as booty,” although one would expect more logically from Sargon the sentence: “I have counted (them) as booty” (there is no anomaly with the co-regency). Consequently, the first campaign of Sennacherib was in 714 BCE.
