Shabaka was a pharaoh between (721 BC - 707/706 BC) of the Twenty-fifth dynasty of Egypt, succeeding his brother Piye).
Despite being relative newcomers to Egypt, Shabaka and his family were immensely interested in Egypt's past and the art of the period reflects their tastes which harked back to earlier periods.
Shabaka is now believed to have died around 707/706 BC because Sargon II(722-705 BC) of Assyria states in an inscription at Tang-i Var(in NorthWest Iran) that it was Shebitku, Shabaka's successor, who extradited Iamanni of Ashdod to him at this time.(See Dan'el Kahn's 1999 paper).

The biblical data would favour the late winter of 721 BC but could be harmonized with the 722 BC date if there was data to establish that date.
