765 BCE to 622 BCE
The Syro-Ephraimite War takes place in the eighth century BCE, when Assyria is a great regional power.
The smaller nations of Syria (often called Aram) and the northern Hebrew Kingdom of Israel (often called Ephraim because of the main tribe), had previously been tributary nations to Assyria.
Finally deciding to break away, they form a coalition in defense against the oncoming threat.
The southern kingdom of the Hebrews, known as Judah, refuses to join the coalition.
The result is an Assyrian-Judahite victory.
The Assyrian Empire annexes Syria and Israel, and makes Judah a tributary state.
