Black Obelisk of Shalmaneser II Full Text (24k) This inscription is
engraved
on an obelisk of black marble, five feet in height, found by Mr. Layard in
the centre of the Mound at Nimroud, and now in the British Museum. Each of
its four sides is divided into five compartments of sculpture representing
the tribute brought to the Assyrian King by vassal princes, Jehu of Israel
being among the number. Shalmaneser, whose annals and conquests are
recorded
upon it, was the son of Assur-natsir-pal, and died in 823 B.C., after a
reign of thirty-five years. A translation of the inscription was one of
the
first achievements of Assyrian decipherment, and was made by Sir. H.
Rawlinson; and Dr. Hincks shortly afterward (in 1851) succeeded in reading
the name of Jehu in it.
