The Annals of Sargon king of Assyria (722–705 B.C.),
successor to Shalmaneser V. He completed Shalmaneser’s siege of Samaria in 721 B.C.,
thus destroying the northern Israelite kingdom forever. In 720 he defeated a coalition of
enemies at Raphia. He captured Carchemish, subdued Babylonia, and advanced eastward to
Kurdistan. He founded the last great Assyrian dynasty. Excavations of his palace at Dur
Sharrukin (Khorsabad) have uncovered his personal annals, in which he recorded in detail his
destruction of Samaria. His name appears also as Sharrukin. excerpted from "Great
Inscription in the Palace of Khorsabad," Julius Oppert, tr., in Records of the Past.
