		Eleven years after this event Jehu was proclaimed king over Israel, and one of his first acts was to pay tribute to Shalmaneser II.
		This incident is commemorated in the latter's well-known "fl obelisk", in the British Museum, in which Jehu himself, "the son of Omri", is sculptured as paying tribute to the king.
		In another inscription the same king records the same fact, saying: At that time I received the tribute of the Tyrians, Sidonians, and Jehu the son of Omri".
