Shalman
   an Assyrian king (Hos. 10:14), identified with Shalmaneser II.
   (Sayce) or IV. (Lenormant), the successor of Pul on the throne
   of Assyria (B.C. 728). He made war against Hoshea, the king of
   Israel, whom he subdued and compelled to pay an annual tribute.
   Hoshea, however, soon after rebelled against his Assyrian
   conquerer. Shalmaneser again marched against Samaria, which,
   after a siege of three years, was taken (2 Kings 17:3-5; 18:9)
   by Sargon (q.v.). A revolution meantime had broken out in
   Assyria, and Shalmaneser was deposed. Sargon usurped the vacant
   throne. Schrader thinks that this is probably the name of a king
   of Moab mentioned on an inscription of Tiglath-pileser as
   Salamanu.
