He dates the inscription to the beginning of the eighth century and concludes that it records a coalition of Jehoahaz of Israel and Joash of BaytDawid against Bar Hadad II of Damascus, the son of Hazael. With respect to the fall of the northern kingdom (2 Kgs 17:7-23), the supplication of Jehoahaz (2 Kgs 13:1-9), and the story of Jeroboam (2 Kgs 14:23-29), Cogan and Tadmor maintained that "[m]onarchic misconduct the measure of Deutcronomistic judgment elsewhere in Kings, is not considered. A few verses later Neco deposes Josiah's son Jehoahaz and replaces him with his brother Eliakim, whose name he changes to Jehoiakim (2 Chr 36:3-4). |
