Detailed explanation-1: -With the rise of Assyrian military might in the ninth century b.c., the looming presence of attack, looting, and destruction by Assyrian armies was soon to change the political landscape of the Near East. Outnumbered, the Phoenician city-states agreed to pay tribute to Assyrian kings.
Detailed explanation-2: -During the Middle Assyrian Empire (1392–1056 BC) and the Neo-Assyrian Empire (911–605 BC), Phoenicia, what is today known as Lebanon and coastal Syria, came under Assyrian rule on several occasions.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Assyrians ruled over their empire with great cruelty, forcing cities to pay tribute. Tribute is payment for protection. The tribute from throughout the region made Assyrian warriors rich. The wealth also allowed the Assyrians to invest in military technology that made their armies even more fearsome.
