Shalmaneser V
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shalmaneser V (Akkadian: Shulmanu-asharid) was King of Assyria from 727 to 722 BC. He first appears as governor of Zimirra in Phoenicia in the reign of his father, Tiglath-Pileser III.
At all events, on the death of Tiglath-Pileser, he succeeded to the throne as the 25th king of Tebet 727 BC, and changed his original name of Ulula to that of Shalmaneser.
The revolt of Samaria took place during his reign, and while he was besieging the rebel city, he died on the 12th of Tebet 722 BC and the crown was seized by Sargon II.
The name Shalmaneser is used for him in the Bible. His name in Akkadian cuneiform was actually Shulmanu-asharid.
