Esarhaddon — Assyrian king (681–669 BCE), son of Sennacherib, who resettled peoples in Samaria.
Esarhaddon (Akkadian Aššur-aḫu-iddina, 'Ashur has given a brother') was the king of Assyria who reigned from 681 to 669 BCE. He came to power after the assassination of his father Sennacherib by two of his own sons (2 Kgs 19:37 = Isa 37:38), a dramatic fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy. Ezra 4:2 records that the Samaritan settlers who opposed the rebuilding of the Jerusalem temple claimed to have been resettled by Esarhaddon — a detail that anchors the post-exilic conflict in Assyrian imperial policy. The name consistently appears in its Hebraized two-part form across all occurrences.
Senses
1. Esarhaddon (proper name) — The proper name of the Assyrian king Esarhaddon (אֵסַרְחַדֹּן, Akkadian Aššur-aḫu-iddina, 'Ashur has given a brother'), who reigned 681–669 BCE. He succeeded his father Sennacherib after the latter's assassination by his own sons (2 Kgs 19:37 = Isa 37:38), fulfilling Isaiah's prophecy of divine judgment. In Ezra 4:2, the Samaritan colonists invoke Esarhaddon as the king who resettled them in the land, grounding the post-exilic temple-rebuilding conflict in Assyrian deportation policy. Multilingual glosses split the name into its two elements ('Esar' + 'Chaddon'), reflecting the hyphenated Hebrew form. 6×
