Concise Bible Dictionary:
King of Assyria, successor of Shalmaneser IV., but called a usurper. His general, the Tartan, captured Ashdod (Isa. 20:1). He reigned B.C. 722-705. Though his name appears in Scripture only in the above passage, it is believed that he accomplished the taking of Samaria which was begun by Shalmaneser. See SAMARIA. He made various conquests and strengthened the kingdom of Assyria, and built some of the palaces.
