Father of Hiram I; length of reign not given

Contemporary of David and Solomon

(Ba'l Mazzer); son of Hiram, reigned 17 years

('Abd-'Ashtart). Reigned 9 years. Killed by four sons of his nurse.

('Ashtart). First of four brothers to reign.

(Dalay-'Ashtart). Cross's textual study separated this and the previous name, thus explaining why, from copying errors, Josephus seemed to name only three brothers instead of four.

('Ashtar-rom). Third of four brothers to reign.

Killed his brother Astharumos. Reigned eight months.

('Itto-ba'l). Priest of Astarte. Killed predecessor. Father of biblical Jezebel (1 Kings 16:31)

(Ba'l-mazzer II). Paid tribute to Shalmaneser III in 841 BC. Father of Mattan I.

(Mattan I). Father of Pygmalion and Elissa/Dido.

(Pummay). In Pygmalion's seventh year, 825 BC, Elissa and friends feld from her brother Pygmalion. They spent time on Cyprus and on an island off the shore of North Africa, founding Carthage in 814 BC.

"The early date for Ben-Hadad (which necessitates an extremely long reign of almost sixty years) is based on the fact that King Baasha of Israel in about his thirteenth year (896 BC) suffered defeat at the hands of Ben-Hadad (1 Kings 15:20). To avoid the problem of such a long reign, some scholars argue for a Ben-Hadad I and a Ben-Hadad II prior to Hazael...As Shea himself points out, however, to posit successive Ben-Hadads goes contrary to the ordinary dynastic pattern in Syria-Palestine..." (Kingdom of Priests, p. 346)
