초록

When Mesopotamian powers dominated Palestine and ancient Near Eastern world during the dynamic eighth-seventh centuries BCE, Moab is one of the vassal nations addressed in the correspondence and monumental inscriptions of Neo-Assyria. These Neo-Assyrian texts contain infrequent references to socio-historical conditions and issues confronting Moab. In the light of this ancient Near Eastern context, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the social-historical setting of ancient Moab during the eighth-seventh centuries BCE by reexamining the Neo-Assyrian texts. The Neo-Assyrian texts represent the Assyrian point of reference regarding issues important to the Transjordan. Moab’s activities as Neo-Assyrian’s vassal within the realm of Neo-Assyrian culture and governmental policies reveal certain socio-cultural aspects. Synchronic examination of the Neo-Assyrian texts follows an historical background discussion of the ancient Near East, Neo-Assyrian culture/governmental analysis, and Neo-Assyrian and Moabite royal chronologies. This article will research on the Neo-Assyrian history, culture, and governing style restricted to issues affecting the nations and peoples of Palestine, especially Moab, and focus on the eighth-seventh centuries BCE time frame. The historical context of Neo-Assyrian hegemony in Moab dominates any discussion and evaluation of Moabite status during the eighth-seventh centuries BCE. Neo-Assyria’s massive empire required use of forced labor and military support from the vassals of the region. Thus, Moabite soldiers and laborers worked and fought besides others from around the Empire. Both the historical context and environmental analyses provide economic discussion. The Neo-Assyrian texts depict Moab as self-sufficient and capable of maintaining a proper status quo. The ability to deliver the proper tamartû gifts at the appropriate times reflects confidence in its army, labor, and tribute, which resulted in longevity and independence. Assyrian monarchs found legitimacy through the blessings of their gods defined through control of the throne, military victory, and territory expansion. Moab’s ability to retain identity and stability indicates a willingness to participate in the political give and take. A vassal who willingly presented tribute and honor to the king served a legitimating proof of the king’s universal control. Inscription-textual analysis and examination for eighth-seventh centuries BCE Moab focuses on the Neo-Assyrian texts. The apparent zenith of Moabite wealth and military prowess developed during the late eighth-late seventh centuries BCE. The territorial expansion of Mesha the mid-ninth century BCE as seen in the Mesha Inscription, developed into the prosperous nation seen in the Neo-Assyrian texts.

Abstract

When Mesopotamian powers dominated Palestine and ancient Near Eastern world during the dynamic eighth-seventh centuries BCE, Moab is one of the vassal nations addressed in the correspondence and monumental inscriptions of Neo-Assyria. These Neo-Assyrian texts contain infrequent references to socio-historical conditions and issues confronting Moab. In the light of this ancient Near Eastern context, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the social-historical setting of ancient Moab during the eighth-seventh centuries BCE by reexamining the Neo-Assyrian texts. The Neo-Assyrian texts represent the Assyrian point of reference regarding issues important to the Transjordan. Moab’s activities as Neo-Assyrian’s vassal within the realm of Neo-Assyrian culture and governmental policies reveal certain socio-cultural aspects. Synchronic examination of the Neo-Assyrian texts follows an historical background discussion of the ancient Near East, Neo-Assyrian culture/governmental analysis, and Neo-Assyrian and Moabite royal chronologies. This article will research on the Neo-Assyrian history, culture, and governing style restricted to issues affecting the nations and peoples of Palestine, especially Moab, and focus on the eighth-seventh centuries BCE time frame. The historical context of Neo-Assyrian hegemony in Moab dominates any discussion and evaluation of Moabite status during the eighth-seventh centuries BCE. Neo-Assyria’s massive empire required use of forced labor and military support from the vassals of the region. Thus, Moabite soldiers and laborers worked and fought besides others from around the Empire. Both the historical context and environmental analyses provide economic discussion. The Neo-Assyrian texts depict Moab as self-sufficient and capable of maintaining a proper status quo. The ability to deliver the proper tamartû gifts at the appropriate times reflects confidence in its army, labor, and tribute, which resulted in longevity and independence. Assyrian monarchs found legitimacy through the blessings of their gods defined through control of the throne, military victory, and territory expansion. Moab’s ability to retain identity and stability indicates a willingness to participate in the political give and take. A vassal who willingly presented tribute and honor to the king served a legitimating proof of the king’s universal control. Inscription-textual analysis and examination for eighth-seventh centuries BCE Moab focuses on the Neo-Assyrian texts. The apparent zenith of Moabite wealth and military prowess developed during the late eighth-late seventh centuries BCE.
