Amos 1:15

and their king shall go into exile,
he and his princes together,"



And the enemy would take both king and officials (cf. Amos 2:3) into exile (cf. 1:5). This judgment was fulfilled through the Assyrian conquest under Tiglath-Pileser III in 734 b.c.

A close reading of Ann 23 indicates that Tiglath-pileser III won the
battle in the field but was unable to capture the headquarters of the
rebellion — Damascus (
21
). He destroyed the environs of Damascus
and captured several cities in Southern Syria/Northern Transjordan. A
slab in Nimrud has a relief depicting the conquest of Ashtaroth before
Gezer. This indicates that Tiglath-pileser III was operating in
Transjordan before attacking Israel. Thus, after having won the field
battle with the Arameans, Tiglath-pileser III turned southwards into
northern Transjordan and captured Gilead and the territory down to
Abel-Shittim (Summ. 9:r.3-4) (
22
). Since the Samsi episode in Ann 23
follows the plundering of the environs of Damascus, it can be
concluded that Tiglath-pileser III while operating in Transjordan
confronted the army of the Arabian queen Samsi (Ann 23:18’; Summ.
13:3’-7’) (
23
). Consequently, the second phase of the campaigns was
first directed against Damascus, then against Transjordan, and ended
with the defeat of Arabian queen Samsi.
