| Rezin - firm; a prince, a king of Syria, who
joined Pekah (q.v.) in an invasion of the kingdom of Judah (2 Kings
15:37; 16:5-9; Isa. 7:1-8). Ahaz induced Tiglath-pileser III. to
attack Damascus, and this caused Rezin to withdraw for the purpose of
defending his own kingdom. Damascus was taken, and Rezin was slain in
battle by the Assyrian king, and his people carried into captivity, B.C.
732 (2 Kings 16:9). [Source]

Shoshenq
IV
(Akheperre-setepenre)
773-735 B.C.
22nd Dynasty
Shoshenq IV was the ninth king of the Twenty-second Dynasty. The Serapeum
stela of Pasenhor is dated as the thirty-seventh year of
Shoshenq IV. This shows that he reigned at least this long. In the year
732, toward the end of his reign, an Assyrian, Tiglath-pileser
III took Damascus and killed Rezin. He then captured many
cities of northern Israel and took the people to Assyria. The Egyptian
troops had at one time joined forces with Damascus, Israel and some
other states to resist Shalmaneser III at Qarqar. There is no indication
that Shoshenq IV made any attempt to help the former allies. [Source] |
