Publisher's Summary
With the death of Ahab and Jezebel, Jehu (841-814 B.C.) murders all of Ahab’s family, consolidating power in the north. Meanwhile in the south, Athaliah (the only female king) murders her grandchildren and crawls over their butchered bodies to seize the throne, initiating a 7-year reign of terror. With the ensuing chaos, both kingdoms weaken and begin to crumble. Black storm clouds gather in the north as Assyria (Northern Iraq of today) emerges on the stage as a world power. Seeing his opportunity, Shalmaneser V king of Assyria (727-722 B.C.), attacks Israel in the winter of 722 B.C., capturing Samaria and deporting the survivors to Assyria. His successor Sargon II (722-705 B.C.) mops up, taking credit for the victory.
