Akkadian Etymology DisputedA New Chronology for Old Testament Times, Jan Van Tuyl, 2012, p. 323: "For many decades, searchers looked for a biblical name in a non-biblical document so that secular proof of Samaria, and by correlation Israel, would finally be found. When they hit on this name, many scholars' eyes read in this name what their heart really wanted their eyes to read, without putting first their brain into gear: that was nothing less than the name of King Ahab of Samaria... The real man who came to this battle, and the real man behind the name A-ha-ab-bu of Sir-'i-la-a-a, was, according to this author, nobody else but Ben Hadad III of Syria." cuneiform transcription of akk he יִשְׂרָאֵל yiśrɔʔél, in the proper name en Ahab of Israel.
