- Manasseh's death (2 Ki 21:17-18; 2 Chron 33:18-20)
Events around the time of Isaiah arranged in chronological order:
- Before Assyria started it's westward expansion into Syria and Israel , and southward into Babylon around 740BC, it was ruled by a succession of weak rulers.
- This mean that Syria , Israel and Judah all enjoyed a relative period of peace.
- Israel at this time was being ruled by Jeroboam II and Judah by Uzziah / Azariah.
- But this long period of peace and stable reigns gave both kingdoms, especially Israel a false sense of complacency.
- God was surely pleased with they felt, otherwise they would not be experiencing such blessings.
- The words of Prophets Hosea and Amos fell on deaf years.
- Judah was some what less corrupted compared to Israel .
- This all came crashing end shortly after the accession of Assyrian King Tiglath-pileser III
- Pul came against the land of Israel and Menahem, the king of Israel , collected money from the rich people and paid off Pul. (2 Ki 15:19-20)
- A coalition is formed by Aram ( Syria ) and Israel to fight Assyria . They start making plans to attack Judah to bring them to join the coalition forces.
- Jotham dies and his son Ahaz becomes the new king. Judah under the kingship of Ahaz had a choice to make.
- As soon as it became clear that Judah would assume a pro-Assyrian stance
Pekah, king of Israel and Rezin, king of Aram ( Syria ) attacked Israel , hoping probably to replace the king to one who would favor their coalition.
