Shalmaneser V

Okay? What else t- Perry, do you have?

Uh, Tobit 1:15 says that Sennacherib was the son of Shalmaneser.

Well, and history itself tells us that he was actually the son of Sargon.

Okay.

586 is when the southern kingdom of Judah got wiped out by Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonians.

722 is when the northern kingdom got wiped out by Shalmaneser, and maybe also Sargon II, of the Assyrians.

Well, as I told you yesterday, the Assyrians were mean, and when they wiped you out, they didn't leave much behind other than a smear.

You were really, really gone, and they would sort of genetically salt over the top of your fields, so to speak, by relocating other people groups, maybe people groups they wanted to reward, from around their empire, and they'd just move them right into your place.

So this is a known practice in the ancient world.

It's a pretty big deal, and yesterday we left off with the question of, okay, the, the northern kingdom of Israel, they didn't have any good kings.

They get wiped out by Shalmaneser and the Assyrians in 722.

They get taken away into who knows where-ville.

Great job.

Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, S-H-A-L-M-A-N-E-S-E-R is just an awesome name.

That's a historically well-known character.

Definitely a guy.

Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, came up to attack Hoshea, who had been Shalmaneser's vassal and had paid him tribute.

But the king of Assyria discovered that Hoshea was a traitor, for he'd sent envoys to sow king of Egypt, and he no longer paid tribute to the king of Assyria as he had done year by year.

Therefore, Shalmaneser seized him and put him in prison.

The king of Assyria invaded the entire land, marched against Samaria, and laid siege to it for three years.

And the same thing happens when Shalmaneser the Fifth comes to the throne.

Shalmaneser V comes to the throne.

There's king, uh, there's a king in the kingdom of Israel called Hoshea.

And Hoshea stops paying the Assyrians.

What does Shalmaneser V do? Sends an army against Hoshea and takes him away.

And then someone else starts a rebellion.

And so as lo-- the reason that the kingdom...

By the time, by the end of the reign of Shalmaneser V, seven twenty-two BCE, the kingdom of Israel is nearly destroyed.

He attacked the Philistines as far as Gaza and its territory, from watchtower to fortified city.

In the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of King Hosea, son of Elah of Israel, King Shalmaneser of Assyria came up against Samaria, besieged it, and at the end of three years, took it.

In the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of King Hoshea of Israel, Samaria was taken.

The king of Assyria carried the Israelites away to Assyria, settled them in Halah, on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes, because they did not obey the voice of the Lord their God, but transgressed his covenant.

Imagine living, yeah, yeah, yeah.

While Hosea was king of Judah and being conquered by King Shalmaneser of Assyria and exiled to Assyria.

So King Hosea was captured and exiled to Assyria.

Then imagine living when David was king.

He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, yet not like the kings of Israel who were before him.

King Shalmaneser of Assyria came up against him.

Hoshea became his vassal and paid him tribute.

But the king of Assyria found treachery in Hoshea, for he had sent messengers to King So of Egypt and offered no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year.

And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, yet not as the kings of Israel who were before him.

Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria, and Hoshea became his vassal and paid him tribute.

But the king of Assyria found treachery in Hoshea, for he had sent messengers to so king of Egypt and offered no tribute to the king of Assyria as he had done year by year.

Therefore the king of Assyria shut him up and bound him in prison." Then the king of Assyria invaded all the land and came to Samaria, and for three years he besieged it.

He rebelled against the king of Assyria and would not serve him.

He struck down the Philistines as far as Gaza and its territory, from watchtower to fortified city.

In the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah, king of Israel, Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, came up against Samaria and besieged it, and at the end of three years he took it.

In the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.

A reading from the 18th chapter of 2 Kings.

In the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of King Hoshea, son of Elah of Israel, King Shalmaneser of Assyria came up against Samaria, besieged it, and at the end of three years took it.

In the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of King Hoshea of Israel, Samaria was taken.

The king of Assyria carried the Israelites away to Assyria, settled them in Hala on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes, because they did not obey the voice of the Lord their God, but transgressed his covenant, all that Moses, the servant of the Lord, had commanded.
