However, this talent does appear to function properly and is a great damage increase for 3 talent points. In other words this talent will only effect the Blood Plague and Frost Fever diseases unless they decide to change Unholy Blight. In fact, even Ebon Plague (or Crypt Fever if you're not smart enough to pick up EP) doesn't actually deal damage as a disease. Now effected targets are considered diseased by the flies but aren't actually taking damage from that disease. The assessment provides additional details about the Hazael’s successful advance into Israelite territory and Israel’s political decline.Comment by 31725This talent says "When your diseases damage an enemy." so i don't think this will work with Unholy Blight seeing how it's shadow damage as a buff on yourself and a dot on them. The final chapter utilizes all data from textual and archaeological sources to reconstruct the years of the Aramean oppression. Recent excavations of the Philistine city of Gath also have significant implications for the northern kingdom. Chapter 5 analyzes at length the results from three dozen archaeological excavations in Israel and Jordan, including sites in the northern Jordan valley, hill country of Galilee, Jezreel Valley, southern Jordan Valley, Gilead, and hill country of Samaria. This chapter will also address the value and limitations of radiocarbon dating, ceramics, destruction layers, and the determination of ethnicity of a site’s population. Chapter 4 reviews issues of archaeological methodology that affect the interpretation of data from excavations including an evaluation of the recent Low Chronology proposal and its effects on the second half of the ninth century. Assyrian inscriptions, including the depiction of Jehu on the Black Obelisk, provide a historical frame around the years of the Aram-Israel conflict. The Mesha Stele provides the clearest inscriptional evidence of the Aramean oppression and the fragmentary Tel Dan Inscription attests to Hazael’s defeat of Israel. Chapter 3 focuses on all extrabiblical texts that bear on the Aramean oppression, including West Semitic inscriptions and Assyrian annals. Relevant reflections by Hosea and Amos are also considered. A brief description of the territorial reduction in Jehu’s reign will be studied along with the results of the oppression evident in the years of Jehu’s son. The purpose of chapter 2 is to analyze all relevant passages, beginning with the Lord’s commission of Elijah to anoint Hazael and Elisha’s prophetic visit to the future king.

Though the biblical text provides the most direct and extensive source for this period, no single passage provides a detailed account of the Aramean oppression.

While many studies have analyzed the biblical narrative of Jehu’s coup or the archaeological record of Jehu’s dynasty, no comprehensive studies have focused on the northern kingdom of Israel during the reign of Jehu. The purpose of this dissertation is to provide a historical reconstruction of the years of Aram’s oppression of Israel with particular attention to epigraphic discoveries and recent archaeological excavations.
