  • Eshmunazar II ou Eshmunazor II (phénicien : ʾšmnʿzr) était un phénicien. Eshmunazar II est devenu roi vers 539 av. J.-C. Il était alors très jeune. C’est à peu près au même moment que Cyrus II s’empare de l’empire babylonien et donc de la Phénicie. On comprend qu’Amoashtart n’ait pas fait de difficultés avec les nouveaux souverains pour assurer le trône à son fils. Lorsque Cambyse II se lance à la conquête de l’Égypte en 525, Eshmunazar II qui n’a qu’environ 15 ans est récompensé de "ses exploits" par un don de terres. On pense qu’il a mis sa flotte à la disposition du Grand Roi. Il meurt peu après et c’est Bodashtart, lui aussi petit-fils d’Eshmunazar Ier, qui lui succède, et qui fut le père de Yatonmilk. La date chronologique est discutée. (fr)

  • Ешмуназар II (фінік. , дав.-гр. Ἀνύσος) — цар фінікійського міста Сідон у 475— 461 рр. до н. е., син Табніта. Народився вже після смерті батька, і був проголошений володарем в дитячому віці. Від імені царя правила його мати, жриця Астарти (зведена сестра Табніта). Сам Ешмуназар II, на відміну від батька та діда, жерцем не став — за віком, або ж не бачив у цьому необхідності. За правління Ешмуназара II сідонці брали активну участь у бойових діях на боці персів, зокрема і при Еврімедонті. Емашторет підтримала Артаксеркса I і під час боротьби за зміцнення його влади всередині перської держави. На знак вдячності той передав сідонському царю Дор, Яффу і частину Шаронської рівнини. Це дозволило місту вперше в історії перетворитися на виробника і навіть експортера сільськогосподарської продукції, і цим компенсувати втрати від згортання міжнародної торгівлі внаслідок тривалих греко-перських війн. Чималі доходи дозволили розпочати перебудову храму Ешмуна за перським зразком. В Сідоні були також зведені храми Астарти і Баала. Спадкував йому стриєчний брат Бодаштарт. (uk)

  • In the month of Bul, in the fourteenth year of the reign of king Eshmunazar, king of the Sidonians, son of king Tabnit, king of the Sidonians, king Eshmunazar, king of the Sidonians, said as follows: I was carried away before my time, son of a limited number of short days , an orphan, the son of a widow, and I am lying in this coffin and in this tomb, in a place which I have built. Whoever you are, king or man, may he not open this resting-place and may he not search in it after anything because nothing whatsoever has been placed into it. And may he not move the coffin of my resting-place, nor carry me away from this resting-place to another resting-place. Also if men talk to you do not listen to their chatter. For every king and every man, who will open what is above this resting-place, or will lift up the coffin of my resting-place, or will carry me away from this resting-place, may they not have a resting-place with the Rephaïm, may they not be buried in a tomb, and may they not have a son or offspring after them. And may the sacred gods deliver them to a mighty king who will rule them in order to exterminate them, the king or this man who will open what is over this resting-place or will lift up this coffin, and the offspring of this king or of those men. They shall not have root below or fruit above or appearance in the life under the sun. For I who deserve mercy, I was carried away before my time, son of a limited number of short days , I an orphan, the son of a widow. For I, Eshmunazar, king of the Sidonians, son of king Tabnit, king of the Sidonians, grandson of king Eshmunazar, king of the Sidonians, and my mother Amo[t]astart, priestess of Ashtart, our lady, the queen, daughter of king Eshmunazar, king of the Sidonians, who have built the temples of the gods, [the temple of Ashtar]t in Sidon, the land of the sea. And we have placed Ashtart the mighty heavens . And it is we who have built a temple for Eshmun, the prince of the sanctuary of the source of Ydll in the mountains, and we have placed him the mighty heavens . And it is we who have built temples for the gods of the Sidonians in Sidon, the land of the sea, a temple for Baal of Sidon, and a temple for Ashtart, the Name of Baal. Moreover, the lord of kings gave us Dor and Joppa, the mighty lands of Dagon, which are in the Plain of Sharon, as a reward for the brilliant action I did. And we have annexed them to the boundary of the land, so that they would belong to the Sidonians for ever. Whoever you are, king or man, do not open what is above me and do not uncover what is above me and do not carry me away from this resting-place and do not lift up the coffin of my resting-place. Otherwise, the sacred gods will deliver them and cut off this king and those men and their offspring for ever. (en)
