The Nimrud Tablet K.3751 is an Assyrian cuneiform inscription from the reign of Tiglath-Pileser III, dating to approximately −733. Discovered at Nimrud in modern Iraq, it records Assyrian military campaigns and tribute received from neighboring kingdoms.
The inscription mentions "Jehoahaz of Judah," generally identified with King Ahaz of the Hebrew Bible, alongside rulers of Moab, Ammon, Edom, and other kingdoms. It provides one of the earliest known Assyrian references to the Kingdom of Judah and confirms its involvement in the regional political system dominated by Assyria during the 8th century before the common count.
