SHALMANESER (Assyr. [Note: Assyrian.] Shulman-asharîdu, i.e. ‘Shulmanu [a god] is chief’). In 2 Kings 17:3; 2 Kings 18:9-11 the Shalmaneser is obviously a king of Assyria who succeeded Tiglath-pileser (wh. see) and preceded Sargon. This was Shalmaneser iv., who reigned over Assyria b.c. 727 722. He ruled Babylonia as Ululai. No monuments of his are preserved. The Eponym Canons give campaigns for his last three years. The siege of Samaria was probably begun in his reign and finished under Sargon. The name Shalmaneser appears in 2Es 13:40 as Salmanasar .
