| Summary: | The Israelite ruler, ia-ú-a (once, ia-a-ú), son of Omri, is named as a tributary in the inscriptions of Shalmaneser III. A recent study proposing to identify this figure not, as has been usual, with Jehu, but with Jehoram, Ahab's son, has evoked several responses convincingly defending the more traditional view. However, philological problems remain, both with the Assyrian transcriptions and with the Hebrew name, Jehu. These difficulties can be surmounted by treating the transcriptions as reflections of Assyrian scribes' efforts to decipher a written Vorlage. The evidence suggests further that a revised construction of Jehu's name is in order. |
