Rezin

Rezin of Aram (/rəˈziːn, ˈriːzɪn/,[1] Hebrew: רְצִין, Modern: Rəṣīn, Tiberian: Reṣīn; Akkadian: 𒊏𒄭𒀀𒉡/𒊏𒆥𒀀𒉡, romanized: Ra-ḫi-a-nu/Ra-qi-a-nu; Imperial Aramaic: probably *Raḍyan; Latin: Rasin) was an Aramean King ruling from Damascus during the 8th century BC.

[3] Rezin conspired with a number of Levantine kings (e.g., Hiram II of Tyre) to rebel against Tiglath-Pileser III.

Rezin's reign ended in 732 BC, when Tiglath-Pileser III sacked Damascus and annexed Aram:[3] In order to save his life, he (Raḫiānu) fled alone and entered the gate of his city [like] a mongoose.

For forty-five days I set up my camp [aro]und his city and confined him (there) like a bird in a cage.

I surrounded (and) captured [the city ...]ḫādara, the ancestral home of Raḫiānu (Rezin) of the land Damascus, [the pl]ace where he was born.
