Perhaps not till after the alliance with Assyria, which led to the downfall of the kingdom of Syria, 740 B.C. Syria had been subdued by David, but threw off the yoke in the time of Solomon. After the revolt of the Ten Tribes, Syria was at first in league with Judah against Israel: then warred upon them both: and, finally, was in league with Israel against Judah, until Judah invoked the help of the "Tiger-Lord" of Assyria, by whom Damascus was taken, the Syrian kingdom brought to an end, and the Two and a Half Tribes east of the Jordan carried captive into Media. -H.
