Biblical account
2 Kings 16:5-9
5 Then Rezin king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel marched up to fight against Jerusalem and besieged Ahaz, but they could not overpower him. 6 At that time,            king of Aram recovered Elath for Aram by driving out the people of Judah. Edomites then moved into Elath and have lived there to this day. 7 Ahaz sent messengers to say to Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria, "I am your servant and vassal. Come up and save me out of the hand of the king of Aram and of the king of Israel, who are attacking me." 8 And Ahaz took the silver and gold found in the temple of the Lord and in the treasuries of the royal palace and sent it as a gift to the king of Assyria. 9 The king of Assyria complied by attacking                  and capturing it. He deported its inhabitants to Kir and put Rezin to death.
Isaiah 7:1-9
1 When Ahaz son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, was king of Judah, King Rezin of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel marched up to fight against Jerusalem, but they could not overpower it. 2 Now the house of            was told, "Aram has allied itself with Ephraim"; so the hearts of Ahaz and his people were shaken, as the trees of the forest are shaken by the wind. 3 Then the Lord said to Isaiah, "Go out, you and your son Shear-Jashub, to meet Ahaz at the end of the aqueduct of the Upper Pool, on the road to the Launderer's Field. 4 Say to him, "Be careful, keep calm and don't be afraid. Do not lose heart because of these two smoldering stubs of firewood—because of the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram and of the son of Remaliah. 5 Aram, Ephraim and Remaliah’s son have plotted your ruin, saying, 6 "Let us invade           ; let us tear it apart and divide it among ourselves, and make the son of Tabeel king over it." 7 Yet this is what the Sovereign Lord says: "It will not take place, it will not happen, 8 for the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is only Rezin. Within sixty-five years Ephraim will be too shattered to be a people. 9 The head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is only Remaliah's son. If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all.
Israel was                back to core territories
a            kingdom surrounding the city of Samaria
one has to be skeptical of the Biblical claim that it was Ahaz that brought Tiglath-Pileser to the land
however, we know from Assyrian records that Ahaz paid                to the Assyrians
King of Israel Pekah was                by the Assyrians and replaced with           
Tiglath-Pileser claims to have done this himself
exacts from him a yearly tribute of gold and silver
727 BC: death of Tiglath-Pileser
Hosea attempted a              with the help of Egypt
the decision was a                          one
Shalmaneser V, son and successor of Tiglath-Pileser
                 Samaria for several months
722-720 Samaria conquered, kingdom of Israel           
             II was the one who conquered, and records say he took men to man his chariots
rebuilt town of Samaria better than it was before
place officer as governor over them
citizens counted among the citizens of Assyria, and they also had to pay tribute
Assyrians began to rule in Samaria
although there were                         , many people were left in Israel to carry on its                     , and the formation of some of the Biblical writings
