However, the alliance headed by Damascus continued its anti-Assyrian activities, which caused the pro-Assyrian alliance to disintegrate, with Ashkelon and Edom soon defecting to the pro-Assyrian side. And since the Qedarites were still participating in the trade networks passing through Damascus and Israel, who themselves controlled important parts of the Arabian commercial route as well as pasture and water sources on which the Qedarites depended, especially during periods of drought, Šamši followed Rezin, Pekah, and Hiram II in rebelling against Assyrian authority in 733 BC.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEphʿal198483–87-26">[26]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERetsö2013129–136-19">[19]</a> During the reign of Tiglath-Pileser III itself, the Qedarites invaded Moab and killed the inhabitants of its capital city of <a href="/wiki/Al-Karak" title="Al-Karak">Qir-Mōʾāb</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEphʿal198492-11">[11]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELipiński2006356–359-12">[12]</a> When Judah remained loyal to Assyria, Rezin and Pekah attacked it, starting the <a href="/wiki/Syro-Ephraimite_War" title="Syro-Ephraimite War">Syro-Ephraimite War</a>, in retaliation of which Tiglath-Pileser III in turn attacked Damascus in 733 and 732 BC. As part of his intervention in Syria, Tiglath-Pileser III also attacked and defeated the Qedarites in the region of Mount Saqurri (Often identified with <a href="/wiki/Jabal_al-Druze" title="Jabal al-Druze">Jabal ad-Durūz</a>), forcing Šamši to flee to the Wādī Sirḥān, and taking significant spoils from them, including spices, which are first mentioned in relation with the Qedarites in Tiglath-Pileser III's records relating to this campaign, and cultic utensils like the resting places of the Qedarite gods as well as their goddess's sceptres. While Rezin would be executed and his kingdom annexed by the Assyrians and Peqaḥ was assassinated, Tiglath-Pileser III allowed Šamši to retain her position as the ruler of the Qedarites and appointed an Arab as qēpu (overseer for the count of Assyria) in Qedar to prevent her from providing aid to Damascus during the campaign in which the Assyrians annexed its territory, and to manage the Qedarites' commercial activities. This mild treatment of Šamši was due to the fact that the Qedarites by then had become wealthier and more powerful, and the Assyrians were interested in products, such as camels, cattle and spices which they could obtain from the Qedarites, as well as in preserving the administrative and social structures of the peoples of the Assyrian border regions who played an important role in international commerce and thus ensured the stability of the Neo-Assyrian Empire's economy. The arrangement between the Assyrians and the Qedarites established at the end of Tiglath-Pileser III's campaign in Palestine satisfied both parties enough that Šamši remained loyal to Assyria and later paid Tiglath-Pileser III a tribute of 125 white camels.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEphʿal198483–87-26">[26]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEphʿal198493–100-31">[31]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERetsö2013129–136-19">[19]</a> Among the other Arabian populations around the southern Levant who offered tribute to Tiglath-Pileser III after his campaign were the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Mas%CA%BEaya&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Masʾaya (page does not exist)">Masʾaya</a>. the <a href="/wiki/Tayma" title="Tayma">Taymanites</a>, Sabaean traders established in the Hejaz, the <a href="/w/index.php?title=%E1%B8%AAaipaya&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Ḫaipaya (page does not exist)">Ḫaipaya</a>, the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Badanaya&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Badanaya (page does not exist)">Badanaya</a>, the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Hatiaya&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Hatiaya (page does not exist)">Hatiaya</a>, and the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Idiba%CA%BEilaya&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Idibaʾilaya (page does not exist)">Idibaʾilaya</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEphʿal198487–92-32">[32]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERetsö2013129–136-19">[19]</a> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:NabateensRoutes.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/22/NabateensRoutes.png/300px-NabateensRoutes.png" decoding="async" width="300" height="292" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/22/NabateensRoutes.png/450px-NabateensRoutes.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/22/NabateensRoutes.png/600px-NabateensRoutes.png 2x" data-file-width="837" data-file-height="814" /></a><figcaption>Map of trade routes in Arabia in Antiquity.

The Assyrians would allow these nomad groups to graze their camels in the settled areas and integrate them into their control structure of the border regions of Palestine and Syria, which consisted of a network of sentry stations, check posts and fortresses at key positions, and administrative and governmental centres in the cities, and which would ensure that these Arabs would remain loyal to the Assyrians and would prevent the encroachment of other Arab nomads on the settled areas; thus, several letters to Tiglath-Pileser III by two Assyrian officials stationed in the Levant, respectively named Addu-ḫati and Bēl-liqbi, mention the participation of Arabs in several caravanserais in the region, including the one located at <a href="/wiki/Hisyah" title="Hisyah">Hisyah</a>; moreover, one Arabian chief from Tiglath-Pileser III's time, named Badiʾilu, was given a grazing permit and appointed as an official of the Assyrian administration as part of this policy.

Assyrian records referred to these three rulers as the "kings of the seashore and the desert," reflecting their influence in the trade networks which spanned North Arabia, the Syrian desert, and the northern part of the Sinai.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEphʿal198483–87-26">[26]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEphʿal1984108–111-37">[37]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERetsö2013129–136-19">[19]</a> In the late 8th century BC, shortly before 700 BC, the domestication of the camels had made it possible for the Qedarites populations to travel further south the Arabian Peninsula, thus competing with the regional maritime trade routes. During the 7th century BC, this ability to travel so far to the south led to the establishment of the import of frankincense from the <a href="/wiki/Sabaeans" title="Sabaeans">kingdom of Sabaʾ</a>, thus forming the <a href="/wiki/Incense_trade_route" title="Incense trade route">incense trade route</a>, and further increasing the commercial importance of the northern Hejaz and of Palestine and Syria and the adjoining regions.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERetsö2013191–192-30">[30]</a> And, under Sargon II, the Arabs within Syria, who may or may not have included Qedarites, were continuing to participate in the caravan traffic in close cooperation with the Assyrian authorities, especially in the area of the <a href="/wiki/Homs" title="Homs">Homs</a> plain, which itself extended eastwards towards Palmyra, and where these Arabs were allowed to graze their camels. As part of this collaboration, the Assyrian official Bēl-liqbi, who was stationed in <a href="/wiki/Zobah" title="Zobah">Ṣupite</a>, wrote a letter to Sargon II demanding the permission to transform an old caravanserai which had since become an archers' camp back into a caravanserai.

areas of the Syrian Desert.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERetsö2013580–584-98">[98]</a> At the peak of the Qedarite kingdom's power in the 5th and 4th centuries BC, it had diversified its methods of
