7 I besieged and occupied the town of Samaria, and took
    27,280 of its inhabitants captive.  I took from them 50
    chariots, but left them the rest of their belongings.  I
    placed my Lieutenants over them; I renewed the obligation
    imposed upon them by one of the Kings who preceded
    me.[8]

8 Hanun, King of Gaza, and Sebech, Sultan[9] of Egypt,
    allied themselves at Rapih[10] to oppose me, and fight against
    me; they came before me, I put them to flight.  Sebech
    yielded before my cohorts, he fled, and no one has ever
    seen any trace of him since.  I took with my own hand
    Hanun, King of Gaza.

9 I imposed a tribute on Pharaoh, King of Egypt; Samsie,
    Queen of Arabia; It-amar, the Sabean, of gold, sweet smelling
    herbs of the land, horses, and camels.

10 Kiakku of Sinukhta had despised the god Assur, and refused
    submission to him.  I took him prisoner, and seized
    his 30 chariots and 7,350 of his soldiers.  I gave Sinuhta,
    the town of his royalty, to Matti from the country of Tuna,
    I added some horses and asses to the former tribute and
    appointed Matti as Governor.

11 Amris of Tabal, had been placed upon the throne of Khulli
    his father; I gave to him a daughter and I gave him Cilicia[10]
    which had never submitted to his ancestors.  But he did
    not keep the treaty and sent his ambassador to Urzaha,
    King of Armenia, and to Mita, King of the Moschians,
    who had seized my provinces.  I transported Amris to
    Assyria, with his belongings, the members of his ancestors’
    families, and the magnates of the country, as well as 100
    chariots; I established some Assyrians, devoted to my government,
    in their places.  I appointed my Lieutenant Governor
    over them, and commanded tributes to be levied
    upon them.

12 Jaubid of Hamath, a smith,[12] was not the legitimate master
    of the throne, he was an infidel and an impious man, and
    he had coveted the royalty of Hamath.  He incited the
    towns of Arpad, Simyra, Damascus, and Samaria to rise
    against me, took his precautions with each of them, and
    prepared for battle.  I counted all the troops of the god
    Assur; in the town of Karkar which had declared itself
    for the rebel, I besieged him and his warriors, I occupied
    Karkar and reduced it to ashes.  I took him, himself, and
    had him flayed, and I killed the chief of the rioters in each
    town, and reduced them to a heap of ruins.  I recruited
    my forces with 200 chariots and 600 horsemen from among
    the inhabitants of the country of Hamath and added them
    to my empire.
