This man's capture of Ashdod after an uprising is recounted in Isaiah, the only place he appears in the Bible. The provinces this man annexed to his empire include Cyprus, Phrygia, and Commagene, the latter two of which faced the threat of invading nomadic Cimmerians, who eventually killed this king in 705 BC. This man flayed Yaubidi, the King of Hamath, and his letter to the god Ashur as well as reliefs depicting hard military campaigning at the Palace of Dur-Shurrukin, attest to a campaign against Urartu of 714 BC. In 710, this man took on Marduk-apla-iddina of Babylon and his Elamite allies and defeated them.
