	Shalmaneser II - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Babylonia had already been conquered as far as the marshes of the Chaldaeans in the south, and the Babylonian king put to death.
		In 836 Shalmaneser made an expedition against the Tibareni (Tabal) which was followed by one against Cappadocia, and in 832 came the campaign in Cilicia.
		Shalmaneser died soon afterwards in 823 B.C. He had built a palace at Calah, and the annals of his reign are engraved on an obelisk of fl marble which he erected there.

	Rise of Assyria
		After his death, the Assyrians, who were still nominally the vassals of Babylonia, threw off all disguise, and Shalmaneser I (1300 BC), the greatgreat-grandson of Assur-yuballidh, openly claimed the supremacy in western Asia.
		Shalmaneser was the founder of Calab, and his annals, which have recently been discovered at Assur, show how widely extended the Assyrian empire already was.
		His son Shalmaneser II had a long reign of 3~ years, Shah during which the Assyrian capital was converted into neser"7L, a sort of armed camp.

		Shalmaneser III.* drew largely on the reserves of men and money which his father's foresight had prepared, and his busy reign of thirty-five years saw thirty-two campaigns, conducted almost without a break, on every side of the empire in succession.
		Shalmaneser seized Lalati* and Burmarana, two of Akhuni's towns, drove him across the Euphrates, and following close on his heels, collected as he passed the tribute of Gurgum, and fell upon Samalla.
		He intended to exercise effective control over all the states won by his sword, and the proof of their subjection was to be the regular payment of tribute and fulfilment of other obligations to their suzerain.

		Ramman-ni-rari III was succeeded by Shalmaneser III (783-773 B.C.), and the latter by Asshurdan III (773-755 B.C.).
		In the second or third year of Shalmaneser's reign, Osee (Hoshea) King of Israel, together with the King of Tyre, rebelled against Assyria; and in order to crush the rebellion the Assyrian monarch marched against both kings and laid siege to their capitals.
		II, cxli), Sennacherib's army was attacked and destroyed by a kind of poisonous wild mice, which suddenly broke into the Assyrian camp, completely demoralizing the army.

		We find Shalmaneser II, for example, in the third year of his reign, fortifying, renaming, garrisoning and endowing with a royal palace the town of Til Barsip on the Euphrates bank, the better to secure for himself free passage at will across the river.
		Shalmaneser's later expeditions all passed the frontiers of that sphere of influence.
		Before the century of Ashurnatsirpal and Shalmaneser II was at an end, certain inherent germs of corporate decay had developed apace in its system.

		It was almost the yearly practice of Shalmaneser II to march down to the Middle Euphrates, ferry his army across, and levy flmail on Carchemish and the other north Syrian cities as far as Cilicia on the one hand and Damascus on the other.
		That its occupation by Shalmaneser II in the third year of his reign was intended to be lasting is proved by its receiving a new name and becoming a royal Assyrian residence.
		Nor can more be credited to Shalmaneser's immediate successors; but it must be understood that by the end of the century Adadnirari had extended Assyria's sphere of influence (as distinct from her territorial holding) somewhat farther south to include not only Phoenicia but also northern Philistia and Palestine with the arable districts east of Jordan.

	Captivities of the Israelites
		Under Jeroboam II (782-746 B.C.) it had recovered from the inroads of the Syrians and the pecuniary exactions of Shalmaneser II of Assyria, and had regained on the east and north-east the boundaries conquered of yore by Solomon.
		In fact the Israel of Jeroboam II was at the summit of its prosperity.
		After Jeroboam II, political disintegration began from within by a series of short reigns of usurpers, who reached the throne and were hurled from it by murder.

	Early history of Assyria
		Ashurnasirpal II was the first to use cavalry units to any large extent in addition to infantry and war-chariot troops.
		The son and successor of Ashurnasirpal was Shalmaneser III (858-824).
		Shalmaneser was only too happy to oblige; when the usurper had been finally eliminated (850), Shalmaneser went to southern Babylonia, which at that time was almost completely dominated by Aramaeans.

	Legend of Semiramis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		It is apparently within reason to believe that the name Sammu-ramat is the archetype of Semiramis the Greek legend, and is in fact, the exaggerated accounts of the achievements of Semiramis and Ninus; there may be an echo of the times of the regency of Sammu-ramat and of the reign of her son.
		Shalmaneser I, son of Adad-Nirari II, ruled from 1274-1245 B.C. Shalmaneser II, was the successor to Tiglath-Pileser II, ruled 1031-1020 B.C. Shalmaneser III, son of Ashurnasirpal, ruled 859-824 B.C. He continued his father's expansionist policies, extending Assyria's frontiers from Urartu to Persia, from Media to the Mediterranean coast including Asia Minor.
		Apparently Shalmaneser V died or was murdered during the siege and his successor Sargon completed the conquest of the city.

	"Forgotten Empires" Remembered - Text
		Shalmaneser III is the representative of this line of kings at the time which we are equating with the Amarna period.
		From Shalmaneser III to Ashur-Nirari V, the late-Assyrian kingdom declined steadily, while the middle-Assyrian record from Ashuruballit I to Tukulti-Nimrud I is one of rapid growth.
		As what are recorded by Shalmaneser III as Assyrian/Urartian conflicts are recorded by the Hittites as having been between the Hittites and Mitanni, he identified the Mitannian province of Ashtata as the Assyria of Shalmaneser III, noting a similarity between Ash-tata and Ash-shur.

		Shalmaneser launched campaigns against the Syrians in 849, 848 and 841 with about the same results as in 853.
		It was led by Shalmaneser's son Ashur-Dan-Aplu and included the rural nobility, the free citizenry and 27 cities, including Nineveh, Ashur and Erbil.
		The cause of the revolt was the actions of the insolent provincial governors and the high officials of the government who were exerting a disproportionate amount of power.

		Shalmaneser II was ready for the attempt on the west in 854.
		Shalmaneser was busied elsewhere, as we shall shortly see, during the years immediately following, and it was not until 849 that he was able to make another assault on the west.
		Shalmaneser, emboldened by this small success, then marched farther north into the territory of Parsua, where he received tribute, and then, turning eastward, entered the land of Media, where several cities were plundered and laid waste.

		Though Shalmaneser in typical Assyrian fashion boasted a smashing victory, it appears that he was temporarily check-mated.
		In the course of a prolonged siege of the Israelite city, Shalmaneser V died and his successor Sargon II completed the conquest of Samaria (note that 2 Kings 18:9,10 is accurate, but since it does not mention this change of kings it has the “appearance” of error).

	Nabataea: Bible Chronology: Solomon to Hezekiah Part II
		Shalmaneser mentions this Ahabu the Sir'laite as living in his sixth year, and later records receiving tribute from Jehu in his eighteenth year.
		The Scriptures place the death of Ben-hadad II and the seizure of the Syrian throne by Hazael near the end of the reign of Joram, just before Jehu was proclaimed king by the Israelite army in 854 B.C. Kings 8:7-15, 28, 29; 9:1-3, 11-15).
		By the altered dates, the campaign in the sixth year of Shalmaneser II, when he defeated Ben-hadad II and mentions "Akhabu" the "Sir'laite," comes in 862 B.C., six years after the death of Ahab the Israelite; while the campaigns of his tenth, eleventh, and fourteenth years are respectively 858, 857, and 854 BC.

		The famous poem of Pentaur gives an exaggerated account of the victory won by Rameses II at Kadesh, over the allies, who included the people of Carchemish and of many other unknown places; for it admits that the Egyptian advance was not continued, and that peace was concluded.
		In the 34th year of his reign, Rameses II (who was then over 50 years of age) married a daughter of Chattusil, who wrote to a son of Kadashman-Turgu (probably Kadashman-burias) to inform this Kassite ruler of Babylon of the event.
		Adad-nirari III, grandson of Shalmaneser II, was the next Assyrian conqueror: in 805 BC he attacked 'Azzaz and Arpad, but the resistance of the Syrians was feeble, and presents were sent from Tyre, Sidon, Damascus and Edom.

	Architecture discussion - ABS text
		The brick panel of Shalmaneser III (reconstructed by Reade; see Mallowan II) allowed us to formulate a proportional system of the bas-relief to the arched opening.
		From the increased size of the relief in the central section of the Throne Room facade and from the standpoint of setting up a strong and regal-like symmetry, we surmised that the central doorway was tallest.
		Also, the glazed brick panel from Fort Shalmaneser (Mallowan) and the archway which was preserved at the time of excavation at Khorsabad (Sobolewski) confirm that these types of banding existed.

	Glossary
		In these as in other campaigns to the north, east, and Babylonian south, the Assyrians wanted not so much permanent conquest as the neutralization of external threats and the acquisition of booty and prisoners, which could then be used in building projects such as Ashurnasirpal’s grandiose reconstruction of the city of calah.
		But in the main, this was a time of Assyrian retreat, brought on by the growing power of its northern neighbor, Urartu, and by the growing challenge to royal authority by various Assyrian officials.
		Assyria’s troubles were reversed in the third and climactic phase of the Neo-Assyrian period, the century (744-627) of Tiglath-pileser III, Shalmaneser V, Sargon II, Sennacherib, Esarhaddon, and Ashurbanipal.
