After approximately 50 years of attacks by the Assyrians in the 9th Century BCE, there followed a 50-year period of peace. During this period, Jonah traveled to Nineveh and Jeroboam II became the King of Israel. Then in 745 BCE, with Tiglath-Pileser’s rise to the throne, the Assyrians began to reassert their military dominance. Isaiah begins his prophecy at a time when Israel is again facing the threat of Assyrian attacks and conquest.
