Tiglath-Pileser III (Pul) Defeats King Rezin of Damascus
After many years of paying heavy levies, Israel and Judea as well as Damascus (in modern Syria) openly rebelled against the Assyrians by refusing to pay. The Assyrians, under Tiglath Pileser III, set siege to Damascus and killed its king, Rezin. The Kalhu Annals of Tiglath-Pileser III that were found in Nimrud give a further account of this:
“…Rezin the Damascene I captured,,, heavy booty, I impaled alive his chief ministers…”
This corroborates with the Book of Isaiah 8:4… the wealth of Damascus and the spoils of Samaria, and the delights of Rezin and of the son of Remaliah, shall be carried off before the king of Assyria.

Dans la Bible
...the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be carried away before the king of Assyria. And the L-RD spoke unto me yet again, saying: Forasmuch as this people hath refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoices with Rezin and Remaliah's son;
"... יִשָּׂ֣א אֶת־חֵ֣יל דַּמֶּ֗שֶׂק וְאֵת֙ שְׁלַ֣ל שֹֽׁמְר֔וֹן לִפְנֵ֖י מֶ֥לֶךְ אַשּֽׁוּר... וּמְשׂ֥וֹשׂ אֶת־רְצִ֖ין וּבֶן־רְמַלְיָֽהוּ ."
