  • Period: 715 BCE to 690 BCE

    Takeloth I

    Takeloth I was the first pharaoh and founder of the 23rd Dynasty, made up of Ethiopians, hoping to capture the broken, shattered Egypt of the time. In the Hebrew Bible, he is known as Tirhakah (Takeloth = Takeroth = Tarekoth = Tareko = Tereka = Tirhakah). Although this sounds like a quite difficult transition to make, a professor of linguistics would understand. He ruled over the Ethiopians in Egypt from 715 to 690 B.C.

    Tirhakah (Takeloth I) Helps Israel

    Around 701 B.C., Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked Israel, and Takeloth I, or Tirhakah (Takeloth = Takeroth = Tarekoth = Tareka = Tirhakah), helped save Israel.
