Assyrian in conflict wit Israell

Israel and the Assyrians

From the disruption of the Israelite Monarchy (c. 922 bC) until the fall of the Northern Kingdom two centuries later, two primary factors influenced the history of Syria-Palestine. One, as discussed in preceeding lectures, was the rapid rise to power of the Arameans of Damascus. The otheer, seen to be partly concomitant with it, was the ominous advance of a newly awakened Assyria, whose encroachments upon the west led to the most perpelexing changes in the state of affairs in Syria. Now the Arameans were engaged in bitter warfare against the Israelites, now in alliance with them against the Assyrians. Now Israelites or Arameans were in league with Assyria or with one another against the Southern Kingdom of Judah.
In the period following Hazael's death (c. 801 bC), Israel was able in an astonishing manner not only to regain the former prestige and power it had enjoyed under the Omrides, but also to reach the peak of its wealth and the period of its greatest territorial expansion. This was made possibleby victories over the Arameans and an extended hiatus in the Assyrian advance in the west. But the Assyrian lull was only the stillness that preceded the storm, which was eventually to break with such violence as to sweep away both Damascus and Israel as well.
