"
From the historic annals now accessible to us ,
the history of Syria may be divided into three periods :
The first ,
the period when the power of the Pharaohs was dominant over the fertile fields or plains of Syria and the merchant cities of Tyre and Sidon ,
and when such mighty conquerors as Thothmes III .
and Rameses II .
could claim dominion and levy tribute from the nations from the banks of the Euphrates to the borders of the Libyan desert .
Second ,
this was followed by a short period of independence ,
when the Jewish nation in the south was growing in power ,
until it reached its early zenith in the golden days of Solomon ;
and when Tyre and Sidon were rich cities ,
sending their traders far and wide ,
over land and sea ,
as missionaries of civilization ,
while in the north the confederate tribes of the Hittites held back the armies of the kings of Assyria .
The third ,
and to us most interesting ,
period is that during which the kings of Assyria were dominant over the plains of Syria ;
when Tyre ,
Sidon ,
Ashdod ,
and Jerusalem bowed beneath the conquering armies of Shalmaneser ,
Sargon ,
and Sennacherib ;
and when at last Memphis and Thebes yielded to the power of the rulers of Nineveh and Babylon ,
and the kings of Assyria completed with terrible fulness the bruising of the reed of Egypt so clearly foretold by the Hebrew prophets .",
