Although I do not find any significant solar or lunar eclipses in 897 or 896 BCE (NOR in 850 or 849 BCE) at the beginning of Shalmaneser s reign, I do find a possible lunar eclipse on Nov 11, 892 BCE that seems to fit with the time when the Kurkh Stela was erected.

The third solar eclipse in Tammuz was the June 27, 661 BCE annular solar eclipse, which was indeed visible as annular or near total close to Nineveh as over most of Assyria and over the northern half of Africa.

That is, Sargon is named in Isa 20:1, and the plural term  Kings of Assyria is used in 2 Chr 32:4, apparently a reference to Sargon (mentioned x1 in KJV) and Sennacherib (mentioned x13 in KJV) in some form of co-regency. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='tab-stops:789.0pt'><span lang=EN style='font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;mso-ansi-language:EN'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='tab-stops:789.0pt'><span lang=EN style='font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;mso-ansi-language:EN'>Cf. 2 <span class=TitleChar><span style='mso-ascii-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-hansi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"'>Kings</span></span> 19:17, where the same plural term  the kings of Assyria is being used in reference primarily to Sennacherib (2 Kings 18:13; 19:16, 20, 36).

Notice also that Ashdod, referenced in Isa 20:1, is not being referenced among the places already concurred by the Assyrian kings, 2 Kings 18:21, 34; 19:12, 13. Thus it appears as though Isa 20:1 is the record of an event prior to, and contemporary with, the record found in 2 Kings 18 &amp;19.
