 Sargon II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sargon laid siege to Babylon, and Marduk-apla-iddin fled.
After the capture of Marduk-apla-iddin, Babylon yielded to Sargon and he was proclaimed king of Babylonia in 710, thus restoring the dual monarchy of Babylonia and Assyria.
While Sargon was thus trying to gain support in Assyria, Marduk-apla-iddin conquered Babylon with the help of the new Elamite king Ummanigash and was crowned king in 721 BC.

Sargon claims to have conquered Samaria and to have deported over 27 thousand of its people.

Conversely, Tiglath-pileser III boasts that he deported all of Israel to Assyria, but does not specifically mention deportation (or military conquest) of Samaria.

Their early familiarity with ships seems to support the late view, and it is perhaps significant that the scene of one of their myths is laid in Tilmun [Dilmun].
This statement is taken to mean that Tilmun was an island, and the scholars who hold this view identify the 'Sea where the sun rises' as the Persian Gulf."

Isaiah could have deliberately selected six central cities conquered and annexed (or re-annexed) by Sargon II in his early years, since his audience/readers had heard of the conquest of the cities not long before the prophecy was said/written.
However, the Egyptian chronology of the 25th Dynasty is still uncertain, as indicated by the new inscription of Sargon II discovered in Iranian Kurdistan.

For over 70 years scholars have attempted to reconstruct the route of Sargon from Assyria to Iran and to identify by epigraphical and archaeological research and survey the cities and features he mentions.
This time, Sargon's main goal was to contain the state of Urartu within its territory and to subdue its allies.
The text is of great importance because it gives one of the most extensive itineraries of an Assyrian campaign and, unlike other Assyrian reports, it mentions by name, and often describes, a large number of cities and fortresses as well as many geographical features.

 Phoenician-led Renaissance & Assyrian Rule in Cyprus
In 709 B.C. Sargon II of Assyria erected a stela at Kitium recording the fact that seven Cypriot kings had paid him homage; subsequent Assyrian documents speak of 11 tributary kingdoms, the seven (Curium, Paphos, Marion, Soli, Lapithos, Salamis, and Amathus) plus Kitium, Kyrenia, Tamassos, and Idalium.
Amathus and Palea Paphos were the strongholds of the latter and retained their shrines to the old fertility goddess of the island, who was addressed as Astare by the Phoenicians and Aphrodite by the Greeks.
The subordination to Assyria, probably rather nominal lasted until about 663 B.C. for the nexy hundred years Cyprus enjoyed a period of complete independence and exuberant development.
