Di bagian akhir ''monolith'' ini tercantum riwayat "'''Pertempuran Qarqar'''", di mana gabungan dua belas raja bertempur melawan Salmaneser di kota [[Karkar]], Siria.

<blockquote>"...I had the good fortune to discover a stone slab bearing the effigy of an Assyrian king, and covered on both sides with long inscriptions in the cuneiform character, to within 2 feet of its base, which had purposely been left bare to admit of its being sunk erect in the ground, as a trophy commemorative of its capture by the king, and at the point probably where his legions effected their forced entry into the city. Some little way below it, on the slope of the mound, and nearly entirely concealed by debris, I exhumed another perfect relic of the same description."{{sfn|Taylor|1865}}</blockquote>

Summarizing scholarly works on this subject, Kelle suggests that the evidence "allows one to say that the inscription contains the first designation for the Northern Kingdom. Moreover, the designation "Israel" seems to have represented an entity that included several vassal states." The latter may have included Moab, Edom and Judah.{{sfn|Kelle|2002}}

Terdapat sejumlah dugaan kesalahan penulisan dalam prasasti ini, terutama berkisar dari Pertempuran Qarqar. Misalnya, di sana tertulis sebuah kota ''Gu-a-a'', yang oleh beberapa pakar dianggap kota '''Quwê''' ('''Que'''). Namun, H. Tadmor yakin ini merupakan kesalahan tulis, yaitu ''Gu-a-a'' seharusnya ''Gu-bal-a-a'', yang adalah kota Byblos. Lebih masuk akal jika Salmaneser memerangi Byblos dan bukannya Que, karena secara geografis lebih cocok di mana raja-raja lain berasal dari daerah di selatan dan barat Asyur, yang juga merupakan lokasi kota-negara Byblos, sedangkan Que, terletak di [[Silisia]] (''Cilicia'').
