 AskWhy! Assyria - Jewish Mythology
The war against Shamshi queen of the Arabs was launched following the invasion of the kingdom of Damascus in 733 BC.
Hanun of Gaza, Hiram of Tyre, Shamshi queen of the Arabs and others joined the alliance, which was supported by Egypt.
Shamshi was probably crowned in 737 BC or 736 BC and carried on the former policy.

 "Forgotten Empires" Remembered - Text
We may see Shamshi-Adad V's campaign against Babylon as an attempt to assert his independance, or a defensive war after an attempt to renege on the treaty.
If Shamshi-Adad V rebelled, taking control of the capitol in his brother's fourth year, and finishing off the last of the resistance in his fifth or sixth, we would probably be faced with exactly the evidence we have now.
Shamshi-Adad V would be in a position to justify himself by painting his late brother as the rebel.

 Calculated Frightfulness of Ashur Nasir Apal, A.T. Olmstead
Shamshi Adad was followed by a son Ashur nasir apal, the second of the name.
Adad nirari led an expedition against it in 805, Assyr.
Yet there is a hint that Babylonia was in some manner subject to Assyria for there has been found in Babylon an inscription of Adad nirari which claims the erection of a palace.

It was finally put down, and Shalmaneser was succeeded by his accepted heir, Shamshi-Adad V (823-811 B.C.).
His successor, Shalmaneser V (726-722 B.C.) maintained the same general policy; he is best known for his 27 Tiglath-Pileser III siege of Samaria, the capital of Israel, which culminated, in accordance with the usual Assyrian policy, in the deportation to Assyria of the best of the population of the land (2 Kings xvii 6).
This King continued the policy of his predecessors, undertaking military action in the north and north-east to defend Assyrian interests against Urartu and the Medes (an Iranian 22 Carved ivory from Nimrud people who had recently migrated into North-West Persia).

However, it is certainly no stretch to say that Shamshi-Adad V would have campaigned in Syria (Aram), since his father Shalmaneser III did extensively, and there is documentary evidence that his successor Adad-nirari remained active west of the Euphrates as well.
However, to be fair, I’ve searched through the Assyrian annals and no campaign to Aram is recorded for Shamshi-Adad V. He did, however, lay siege to Babylon, incidentally.
Jehoahaz ruled after king Jehu, and Shamshi-Adad V of Assyria was king during his lifetime.

 Legend of Semiramis
The extension, then, of the Assyrian borders continued during the thirteen years of Shamshi-Adad's V reign, to the east and southeast; it is clear that Adad-Nirari III succeeded in 811 to an authority unimpaired by the civil strife which had marked the last years of Shalmaneser IV (783-774 B.C.).
Her stela (memorial stone shaft) has been found at Ashur, while an inscription at Calah (Nimrud) shows her to have been dominant there after the death of her husband, before the rule of her son.
Apparently Shalmaneser V died or was murdered during the siege and his successor Sargon completed the conquest of the city.

 Adad-nirari III - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was the son and successor of Shamshi-Adad V, and was apparently quite young at the time of his accession, because for the first five years of his reign his mother Sammuramat acted as regent, which may have given rise to the legend of Semiramis.
Adad-nirari's youth, and the struggles his father had faced early in his reign, caused a serious weakening for the Assyrian rulership over Mesopotamia, and gave way to the ambitions of the most high officers, the governors and the local rulers.

In the following year, age required the king to hand over the command of his armies to the Tartan (turtānu commander-in-chief) Dayyan-Assur, and six years later, Nineveh and other cities revolted against him under his rebel son Assur-danin-pal.

 History, culture, heritage of Iraq!
Its massive city walls and 'hanging gardens', attributed by classical tradition to Semiramis, wife of Shamshi-Adad V (823-811 BC) Semiramis: Semi-legendary Queen of Assyria, the wife of Ninus, with whom she is supposed to have founded Babylon.
The historical germ of the story seems to be the three years' regency of Sammu-ramat (811-808 BC), widow of Shamshi-Adad V, but the details are legendary, derived from Ctesias and the Greek historians, with elements of the Astarte myth.
Semi-subterranean vaulted rooms provided with hydraulic lifting gear in the later Palace of Nebuchadnezzar (604-562 BC) have been claimed as remains of the gardens, but their site is not definitely known.
