1 jan 742 ano antes da era comum - Coalition with Rezin, Peqah, Philistines Against Assyria

Descrição:

Consequently, in 742 BCE, Rezin (750-732), the powerful king of Damascus, whose reign is well documented (Na'aman: 1995, 105-117; Bryce: 2012, 302-309), formed a coalition to resist Tiglath-pileser III’s attack, Peqah (758-738), the king of Israel, joined the coalition but not Jotham (758-742), the king of Judah. This led to a retaliation against Jotham who died at the end of the year (2Ki 15:37-38). In 740 BCE, the kingdom of Bit-Agusi (Arpad) was defeated by Tiglath-pileser III during his 6th campaign in Syria and was definitively annexed to the Assyrian empire. To defeat Peqah, Achaz (742-726), the new king of Judah: “asked the kings of Assyria (malkhê aššur) for help” (2Ch 28:16 NIV). The Assyrian “king (melekh)” accompanying Tiglath-pileser III (2Ch 18:20) must have been Shalmaneser V as co-regent. Hosea I formed a conspiracy against Peqah. He put him to death and began to reign in place of him (2Ki 15:27-30). In 734 BCE, Tiglath-pileser III invaded and immediately conquered the Philistine territories.
