    Description

    Who was Shalmaneser?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Shalmaneser, also referred to as Shalman, was an Assyrian king mentioned in 2Ki.17.3, 2 Kings 2Ki.18.9, and Hos.10.14. He played a significant role in the history of the northern kingdom of Israel. During the reign of Hoshea, the last king of Israel, Shalmaneser attacked the kingdom and forced Hoshea to become his vassal. However, when Hoshea conspired against Shalmaneser by seeking help from Egypt, the Assyrian king besieged Samaria, the capital of Israel. After a three-year siege, Shalmaneser captured the city and exiled the Israelites to various parts of the Assyrian empire, effectively ending the northern kingdom. The conquest of Israel by Shalmaneser fulfilled the prophetic warnings of judgment against the nation for their persistent idolatry and disobedience to God. In Hos.10.14, the prophet likens the destruction that would come upon Israel to the devastation caused by Shalman, possibly referring to Shalmaneser's campaign against Samaria.

    Direct connections

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.

    How the graph connects Shalmaneser8 of 8 entities the graph connects to Shalmaneser, in 2 groups: company 1, events 7. Kinship, company and ground are stated relations; events counts the acts two entities stand in together and is not a relation. Each mark is sized by how many verses name that entity and labelled with the link and the count, so the grouping and the size are both readable without colour. Distance from the centre carries nothing.Hoshea’s paymentTook part in · 2 versesCompanySamaria1 event · 124 versesSiege1 event · 31 versesTribute1 event · 20 versesHoshea3 events · 8 versesHezekiah’s reign1 event · 2 versesHoshea Reign1 event · 2 versesBeth-arbel1 event · 1 verseEventsShalmaneser
