Years: 861BCE - 850BCE
Ahab’s Levantine alliance breaks up after repulsing the Assyrians at Qarqar, and Ahab soon afterwards meets his death fighting the Syrians in a vain attempt by Jehoshaphat to recover the city of Ramoth-Gilead from the Arameans.
Mortally wounded by an arrow, Ahab was propped up in his chariot facing his men but by evening, Ahab had died and the Aramaeans had won. (1 Kings 22:1-36)
