Document Details : Title: A New Look at the Inscriptions of Tiglath-pileser III Author(s): GALIL, Gershon Journal: Biblica Volume: 81 Issue: 4 Date: 2000 Pages: 511-520 DOI: 10.2143/BIB.81.4.3200456 Abstract : The first part of the article re-examines the inscriptions of Tiglath-pileser III, mainly Summary inscriptions 4, 9, 10 and Ann. 18, 23, 24. The author proposes a new reading to line 6 of Summ. 4 by adding a verb (abil or akšud) at the end of this line, and separating lines 5-6 from lines 7-8. In the author’s opinion Ann. 18 and 24 are indeed parallel versions depicting the events of 732, yet, Ann. 18 describes the conquest of Galilee, while Ann. 24 deals with the conquest of Damascus. The second part of the article examines the relations between Assyria and the West in the days of Tiglath-pileser III in light of the new proposals offered in the first part of the article. |
