	Nabataea: Bible Chronology: Solomon to Hezekiah Part II
		During the reign of-Shal-maneser III of Assyria (860-825 BC, usual Assyrian dating) a series of campaigns into Syria were carried out, in which the Assyrians frequently came into contact with well known Biblical figures, among whom are found Ben-hadad (II) and Hazael, kings of Syria, and Jehu, king of Israel, is mentioned once.
		In his sixth year Shalmaneser III crossed the Euphrates for the second time, he tells us in inscriptions, and met and defeated a coalition of twelve kings, who had raised a great army under the leadership of "Bir-idri" (the Assyrian spelling for the Ben-hadad of Scripture, contemporary with Ahab and Jotham, kings of Israel).
		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.

	Revolutions in Egypt and Israel
		While the house of Judah and the house of Israel went through a series of revolutions and fraternal wars, the Assyrians, who already in the days of Shalmaneser III towered over other nations of Western Asia, did not cease their penetration into the region of Syria and Palestine, the bridge to Egypt and Ethiopia.
		On an obelisk Shalmaneser let himself be portrayed in low relief with his entourage, while a kneeling person kisses the ground near his feet.
		At the same time we read in Shalmaneser’s detailed annals that he carried on war against Damascus, and though the Assyrian king claimed victory, from the very fact that Shalmaneser’s ally Jehu was such a loser, one would conclude that Hazael was much on the offensive.

		Ashur-nasir-pal was succeeded by his son, Shalmaneser III, who built his palace near his father's.

		Ahab recognised this, for whatever he may have been as an individual, he was a wise statesman, and his mild treatment of Ben-hadad was a piece of political wisdom as it helped to bring the two peoples together in the face of the threat of Assyrian overlordship.

		According to the Monolith-Inscriptions (from Kurkh) Shalmaneser III claims to have fought a battle at Karkar against a coalition of Aramean kings in his sixth year.
		If this highly unlikely scenario were true then the reign of Shalmaneser III would have to be shifted back some twenty-three years, and this would greatly disturb the eponym lists, and also lengthen the reigns of at least the next three Assyrian kings.
		This was not an unknown practice among Assyrian kings, and neither was it unheard of for a king to claim victories that occurred in the reigns of his predecessors.
