1025 BC| c. 1100 BC–c. 1000 BC | Babylon, Assyria [colonization] | Both Assyria and Babylonia suffer from incursions by a confederacy of tribes, speaking a northern Semitic language called Aramaeans. Even the Assyrians, relapsing into a dark-age period of which little is known, are apparently fighting for their very existence. | | 1025 BC | Palestine [administration] | Saul is made king of Israel and saves his country from the Amalekites (in the Negeb). Agag, king of the Amalekites, is spared by Saul but is assassinated by Samuel, the last of the Judges, as a fitting sacrifice in a holy war. |
