 | | A stone-work stela of the Assyrian king Adad-nirari III (811-782/3) from Tell er-Rimah in Iraq mentions tribute being paid by Jehoash, a king of Israel. |
 | | The Assyrian influence over Syria under Adad-nirari and the fact that Damascus and Hamath were returned to fighting one another instead of turning any aggressive attention to Israel was probably a tremendous relief to the Israelites (2Kings 13.5: "The Lord (Yahweh) gave Israel a savior,.."). |
 | | Then it became possible for Israel under Jehoash to recover the cities he had lost, but by this time Hazael had died and Ben-hadad, his son, Ben-hadad III, called Mari on the monuments, had become king in his stead (2Kings 13:24,25). |
