 The Assyrian King of Babylon identified (Isa.14:1-27)
Isaiah is not railing against a "Chaldean" king of Babylon, he is speaking of the "Assyrian" king of Babylon.
I note that during Ahaz's reign two Assyrian monarchs assumed the title "king of Babylon." Tiglath-pileser III claimed the title in 728 BE, as well as his successor, Shalmaneser V (726-722 BCE), and still later Sargon II in 709 BCE claimed the title.
So then, the Kings of Assyria claimed to be the "King of Babylon" in the course of the years 728-722, 709-705 BCE.
