Extrait du document

The Dynasty of Abibaal. Under Abibaal (c. 1000), Tyre was transformed into a superb harbor and Abibaal's son Hiram I (969–935) entered into an alliance with David of Israel, which continued in the time of Solomon (See c. 1000–965). Phoenician artisans designed and built the temple of Solomon, and joint Phoenician-Israelite fleets sailed in the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean. Hiram I unified all of Phoenicia from Mount Carmel to Arvad, though vassal dynasties continued to rule at Byblos and Arvad under Sidonian suzerainty. Little is known of Hiram's successors other than their names and dates: Baalmazzar I (935–919), Abd`ashtart (918–910), Ashtart (909–898), and `Astartrom (897–889). The last king of Abibaal's dynasty, Pilles (888) was assassinated by the high priest of Astarte, Ittobaal, who founded a new dynasty.
