What happened in 735 BC?

In 735 BC, the Assyrian Empire, under King Tiglath-Pileser III, expanded its territory significantly, marking a period of aggressive military campaigns. This year is also notable in the context of biblical history, as the prophet Isaiah began his ministry during this time in the Kingdom of Judah. Additionally, the political landscape of the region was characterized by the fragmentation of various smaller states, which were often caught in the power struggles between larger empires such as Assyria.
