'''Shalmaneser V''' ([[Akkadian language|Akkadian]]: ''{{lang|akk|Šulmanu-ašarid}}''; {{Hebrew name|שַׁלְמַנְאֶסֶר|Šalman’eser|Šalmanʼéser}}; {{lang-el|Σαλαμανασσαρ}} ''Salamanassar''; {{lang-la|Salmanasar}}) was [[king of Assyria]] from 727 to 722 BC. He first appears as governor of [[Zemar|Zimirra]] in [[Phoenicia]] in the reign of his father, [[Tiglath-Pileser III]]. Evidence pertaining to his reign is scarce.

On the death of Tiglath-Pileser, he succeeded to the throne of [[Assyria]] on the 25th day of [[Tevet|Tebet]] 727 BC,<ref>{{EB1911|noprescript=1|title=Shalmaneser | url = https://archive.org/stream/encyclopaediabri24chisrich#page/798 | first = Archibald Henry | last = Sayce | authorlink = Archibald Sayce | page = 798 | volume = 24}}</ref> and changed his original name of '''Ululayu''' to the Akkadian name he is known by. While it has been suggested that he continued to use ''Ululayu'' for his throne name as king of [[Babylonia]], this has not been found in any authentic official sources.<ref>G. Frame, Babylonia 689-627 B.C., p. 303-304.</ref>

The name ''Shalmaneser'' is used for him in the [[Bible]],<ref>As seen in {{Bibleverse|2Kings|17:3|HE}} and {{Bibleverse|2Kings|18:9|HE}}</ref> which attributes to him the final conquest of the kingdom of [[Samaria]] ([[Israel]]) and the deportation of Israelites. According to [[Books of Kings|2 Kings]], chapters {{Bibleverse-nb|2kings|17}}-{{Bibleverse-nb|2kings|18}}, Shalmaneser accused [[Hoshea]], King of Israel, of conspiring against him by sending messages to Pharaoh [[Osorkon IV]] of [[Egypt]], <!--[[So]], king of - Hebrew סוא is not necessarily the king's name, it has been hypothesized to be a certain commander or city, or merely an abbreviation of another Pharaoh's name.--> and captured him. The Egyptians attempted to gain a foothold in [[Israel (region)|Israel]], then held largely by Assyria's [[vassal state|vassal kings]], by stirring them to revolt against Assyria and lending them some military support.<ref>{{cite book| first = Georges | last = Roux | authorlink = Georges Roux | title = Ancient Iraq | edition = Third | year = 1992 | publisher = Penguin | ISBN= 9780140125238 | pages = 310–312}}</ref> After three years of siege he took the city of Samaria. The populations he deported to various lands of the empire, (together with ones deported about ten years earlier by Tiglath-Pileser III) are known as the "[[Ten Lost Tribes]]" of Israel. The populations he settled in Samaria instead form the origins of the [[Samaritans]], according to a commentary in the Bible. Shalmaneser died in the same year, 722 BC, and it is possible that the population exchanges were done by his successor [[Sargon II]].<!--while he was besieging the rebel city, he died on the 12th of [[Tebet]] 722 BC and the crown was seized by his brother [[Sargon II]].<ref>{{EB1911|noprescript=1|title=Shalmaneser}}</ref>-->

In the [[book of Tobit]], chapter 1, the exiled Tobit is shown finding favor in Shalmaneser's court, only to lose influence under [[Sennacherib]].
