English to Arabic: Aram Damascus General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: History
Source text - English Aram Damascus
Aram Damascus was an Aramaean state around Damascus in Syria, from the late 12th century BCE to 734 BCE.
The sources for the early history of Aram-Damascus are almost nonexistent. In an annal dating to Tiglath-Pileser I (1114-1076 BCE), we learn that Aramaean people have begun settling in the southern half of Syria. There are also texts of the Bible mentioning David's battles against Aramaeans in southern Syria in the 10th century BCE.(2 Samuel 9:6-19)
The first reliable data can be found in the 9th century BCE when Aramaean, Assyrian, and Hebrew texts all mention a state with its capital in Damascus. The state seems to have reached its peak in the late 9th century BCE under Hazael, who, according to Assyrian texts, fought against the Assyrians, and according to Aramaean texts, had some influence over the north Syrian state Unqi[1], and according to Hebrew texts, conquered all of Israel.(2 Kings 11:33)
In the 8th century BCE, Rezin had been a tributary of Tiglath-Pileser III, the king of Assyria.[2] In c. 732 BCE, he allied himself with Pekah, the king of Israel, to attack Ahaz, the king of Judah. However, Ahaz appealed to Tiglath-Pileser III for help. This the Assyrian king obliged, after Judah paid tribute to the Assyrian king. (2 Kings 16:7-9) As a result, Tiglath-Pileser sacked Damascus and annexed Aram.[2] According to 2 Kings 16:9, the population was deported and Rezin executed. Tiglath-Pileser also records this act in one of his inscriptions.[3]
Archaeological evidence of Aram-Damascus is close to nothing. Excavations in Damascus are hard to perform, owing to the continuous settlement of the city. Other cities of Aram-Damascus have not been positively identified from textual sources, and excavations of Iron Age sites around Damascus are almost nonexistent. The material culture at sites farther south (e.g. Tell-Ashtara, Tell er-Rumeith, et-Tell, Tel-Dan, Tell el-Oreme, to name but a few) do not show many features distinguishing from the material culture of northern Israel.
Translation - Arabic آرام دمشق
آرام دمشق كانت مملكة تقع حول مدينة دمشق افي سوريا، ظهرت في القرن الثاني عشر قبل الميلاد إلى عام 734 قبل الميلاد .
المصادر التاريخية التي تشير إلى نشأة مملكة آرام دمشق تكاد تكون معدومة. في حولية تعود إلى الملك الآشوري تغلات بلاصر الأول (1114-1076 قبل الميلاد)تخبرنا أن الشعوب الآرامية بدأت تستقر في النصف الجنوبي من سوريا. هناك أيضا نصوص في الكتاب المقدس تتحدث عن معارك داوود ملك إسرائيل ضد الآراميين في جنوب سوريا في القرن العاشر قبل الميلاد.
المملكة وصلت إلى ذروة قوتها في أواخر القرن التاسع قبل الميلاد تحت حكم الملك حزائيل، الذي، وفقا لنصوص آشورية، حارب الآشوريين. وكان له نفوذ قوي شمال سوريا (وفقا لنصوص آرامية).
في القرن الثامن قبل الميلاد أصبحت المملكة تحت حكم رصين وكان تابعا لتغلاث فلاسر الثالث، ملك أشور. وفي عام 732 قبل الميلاد، تحالف رصين مع فكاح ملك إسرائيل لمهاجمة آحاز ملك يهوذا، فقام آحاز بطلب المساعدة من تغلاث فلاسر الثالث هذا الملك الآشوري الذي ضم دمشق في النهاية وقام بترحيل السكان وإعدام الملك رصين.
