From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Shalman
     an Assyrian king (Hos. 10:14), identified with Shalmaneser II.
     (Sayce) or IV. (Lenormant), the successor of Pul on the throne
     of Assyria (B.C. 728). He made war against Hoshea, the king of
     Israel, whom he subdued and compelled to pay an annual tribute.
     Hoshea, however, soon after rebelled against his Assyrian


     conquerer. Shalmaneser again marched against Samaria, which,
     after a siege of three years, was taken (2 Kings 17:3-5; 18:9)
     by Sargon (q.v.). A revolution meantime had broken out in
     Assyria, and Shalmaneser was deposed. Sargon usurped the vacant
     throne. Schrader thinks that this is probably the name of a king
     of Moab mentioned on an inscription of Tiglath-pileser as
     Salamanu.
