Ahaz (1 dez 742 ano antes da era comum – 30 jun 726 ano antes da era comum)
Descrição:
The Atonement Clock by Christian GedgeThe last coregency shown here is one year between Ahaz and Hezekiah. It is at this point that I must part company with Dr. Edwin Thiele. He posits thirteen years – an extraordinary stretch considering it extends Hezekiah’s reign from twentynine to fortytwo years with no such indication in scripture. His effort is to force Assyria's record of the fall of Samaria to the Bible. Agreed, Shalmaneser V laid siege to Samaria (2 Kings 18:9), but Bible scholars have assumed that he was the one who destroyed it too. Hence, older commentaries date the event during this king's reign, somewhere inbetween 726 BC 721 BC.
Difficulties arise, however, because Sargon II claims in his annals that he was the one who conquered Samaria, not Shalmaneser! So, as mentioned, Hezekiah's details fail to match up and some chronologies become quite muddled during this period. It has now been realised that Shalmaneser died, probably by assassination, at the onset of the campaign. Sargon took over and completed the siege of Samaria in 720 BC, taking the credit for its conquest.
