For any who believe in the accuracy of the Scriptures the biblical record is the most reliable historical source. | | | In regard to the northern kingdom's deportation, the report of 2 Kings is probably the most essential biblical testimony: "Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them from His sight; there was none left but the tribe of Judah alone... |

| | This probably occurred while Shalmaneser was campaigning against the northern kingdom of Israel to put down the revolts that had occurred after the death of Tiglath-pileser. | | | It is quite likely that Shalmaneser returned to make his capitol in Assyria after ruling from Babylon for five years; and that he left Sargon, who was probably a high ranking general, in charge of Babylon. | | | Nevertheless, even if this were done Shalmaneser's claim of receiving tribute from Jehu in his eighteenth year would place that event four years before Jehu began to reign. |

| | Supplemental arguments for Shalmaneser V’s capture of Samaria arise from the limited booty reported for 720 and Sargon II’s usual suggestion that his conquest came in response to a new anti-Assyrian conspiracy (implying in turn that Shalmaneser had himself finished what he started in 2 Kgs 18,9 and [implicitly] 2 Kgs 17,5). | | | Babylonian reference to Shalmaneser V’s destruction of the obscure Sibraim can be simply explained by his status as king of Babylon (and evident failure to achieve any more notable feat during this winter campaign). | | | It seems especially unlikely that the end of Israelite history in 720 (after which Samaria appears in Assyrian sources as a province and the scene of large-scale deportations) would have been ignored by biblical writers in favor of a temporary capture of the capital a few years earlier. |

| | Shalmaneser III spent most of his lifetime battling against the Hittites of northern Syria, Cilicia, and Cappadocia, and against their close allies, the Hurri kingdom of Urartu. | | | Arame remained a persistent foe of Shalmaneser III throughout his reign, and his territories clearly formed part of a much wider Hittite confederacy. | | | Indeed for a while Shamshi-Adad became a virtual vassal of the Babylonians, his alliance to the latter power very possibly being sealed by his marriage to Sammuramat, the Semiramis of classical legend, whom many commentators have suggested was of Babylonian origin. |
