Israelite–Aramean War
Armed conflict of the Biblical period (9th century BCE) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to 1 Kings 20:1–34[1] and 2 Kings 6:8–7:16,[2] the Israelite–Aramean War[citation needed] was an armed conflict between the Northern Israelites and the Arameans and Amorites that took place in the Levantine regions of Aram and Bashan. It is generally considered to have taken place around the year 874 BCE.[citation needed] The war resulted in a victory for the Israelites and saw the Kingdom of Israel conquer the Biblical city of Golan, a vital landmark that is widely believed to have historically stood on the site of the village of Saham al-Jawlan in modern-day Syria.[citation needed]
