Shalmaneser (shăl-ma-nç'zer), Salman is gracious. A king of Assyria, b.c. 727-722. Hoshea, king of Israel, had revolted, but was conquered by Shalmaneser. 2 Kings 17:3. Hoshea revolted a second time and allied himself with So, king of Egypt, and Shalmaneser returned, ravaged Samaria, besieged Hoshea, and after three years Samaria fell. But meantime a rebellion headed by Sargon had broken out in Assyria, and Shalmaneser was deposed. It is not stated in 2 Kings 17:6 that Shalmaneser took Samaria, but that the king of Assyria did, probably Sargon.
