Rezin

King Rezin of Aram (/ˈriː.zɪn/) or Rasin of Syria in DRB (Hebrew: רְצִין , Modern {{{2}}}, Tiberian răzin; Latin: Rasin) ruled from Damascus during the 8th century BC. During his reign, he was a tributary of King Tiglath-pileser III of Assyria.

Rezin's reign ended around 732 BC, when Tiglath-Pileser III sacked Damascus and annexed Aram. According to the Bible, the sack of Damascus was instigated by King Ahaz of Judah and ended in Rezin's execution (2 Kings 16:7-9). The execution of Rezin is neither confirmed nor disconfirmed by independent evidence.

According to 2 Kings Rezin allied with Pekah, son of Remaliah, against Ahaz. The defeat of both kings is promised to Ahaz in the Immanuel prophecy Isaiah 7:14, linked to the birth of a child who will be an infant, possibly Ahaz' royal heir Hezekiah, when this takes place.
