This state of peace with two powerful neighbors enabled the Kingdom of Israel to expand its influence and even political control in <a href="/wiki/Transjordan_(Bible)" class="mw-redirect" title="Transjordan (Bible)">Transjordan</a>, and these factors combined brought economic prosperity to the kingdom. </p><p>On the other hand, peace with Sidon also resulted in the penetration of <a href="/wiki/Phoenicia" title="Phoenicia">Phoenician</a> religious ideas into the kingdom and led to a <i><a href="/wiki/Culture_war" title="Culture war">kulturkampf</a></i> between traditionalists (as personified by the <a href="/wiki/Prophet" title="Prophet">prophet</a> <a href="/wiki/Elijah" title="Elijah">Elijah</a> and his followers) and the aristocracy (as personified by Omri's son and heir <a href="/wiki/Ahab" title="Ahab">Ahab</a> and his consort <a href="/wiki/Jezebel_(biblical)" class="mw-redirect" title="Jezebel (biblical)">Jezebel</a>). In foreign affairs, this period paralleled the rise of the Kingdom of <a href="/wiki/Aram_(biblical_region)" class="mw-redirect" title="Aram (biblical region)">Aram</a> based in <a href="/wiki/Damascus" title="Damascus">Damascus</a>, and Israel soon found itself at war in the northeast. Most threatening, however, was the ascendancy of <a href="/wiki/Assyria" title="Assyria">Assyria</a>, which was beginning to expand westward from <a href="/wiki/Mesopotamia" title="Mesopotamia">Mesopotamia</a>: the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Qarqar" title="Battle of Qarqar">Battle of Qarqar</a> (853 BCE), which pitted <a href="/wiki/Shalmaneser_III" title="Shalmaneser III">Shalmaneser III</a> of <a href="/wiki/Assyria" title="Assyria">Assyria</a> against a coalition of local kings, including Ahab, was the first clash between Assyria and Israel. It was the first in a series of wars that would eventually lead to the destruction of the Kingdom of Israel in 722 BCE and the reduction of the Kingdom of Judah to an Assyrian tributary state. </p><p>In 841 BCE, the Assyrian king Shalmaneser III campaigned along the <a href="/wiki/Mediterranean_Sea" title="Mediterranean Sea">Mediterranean coast</a> and forced <a href="/wiki/Jehu" title="Jehu">Jehu</a> to pay tribute. Assyrian kings frequently referred to Omri's successors as belonging to the "House of Omri" (<i>Bit Hu-um-ri-a</i>).<sup id="cite_ref-JBP_15-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-JBP-15"><span
