THE LAST DAYS OF THE KINGDOM OF ISRAEL BEIHEF...

Despite considerable scholarly efforts for many years  the last two decades of the Kingdom of
Israel are still beneath the veil of history. What was the status of the Kingdom after its
annexation by Assyria in 732 BCE? Who conquered Samaria  the capital of the Kingdom? When did
it happen? One of the primary reasons for this situation lies in the discrepancies found in the
historical sources  namely the Hebrew Bible and the Assyrian texts. Since biblical studies and
Assyriology are two distinct disciplines  the gaps in the sources are not easy to bridge.
Moreover  recent great progress in the archaeological research in the Southern Levant provides
now crucial new data  independent of these textual sources. This volume  a collection of papers
by leading scholars from different fields of research  aims to bring together  for the first
time  all the available data and to discuss these conundrums from various perspectives in order
to reach a better and deeper understanding of this crucial period  which possibly triggered in
the following decades the birth of new Israel in the Southern Kingdom of Judah  and eventually
led to the formation of the Hebrew Bible and its underlying theology.
