How did the Assyrians influence Israel?
The Assyrians defeated Israel and reduced it to a mere city-state, based on the city of Samaria. Finally, in 722 BCE, they overran Samaria and deported up to 40,000 people - about one fifth of the population. Many of the remainder fled to Judah or to Egypt. From now on, Israel simply ceased to exist. In the south, King Ahaz saved Judah from the fate of Israel and incorporated his kingdom into the Assyrian economy. His policy led Judah to an unprecedented prosperity, in which Jerusalem and Judah experienced dramatic demographic growth. His successor, Hezekiah, took a reckless decision to rebel against Assyria, leading to the utter devastation of Judah. The next king, Manasseh, saved Judah from annihilation by a policy of cooperation with Assyria. Judah continued as a political entity until overrun by the Babylonians.

What was the assyrian's economy like?
Farming and Agriculture - Assyrians' main economy was agriculture which was fed by the Tigris River and water from the Armenian mountains.
As Assyria expanded, more forms of economy sprung up. Mining and forestry were among them. As they conquered, slaves also grew in to become a noteworthy element of the economy, but it never expanded to become larger than agriculture.
These forms of profession and economy were mainly fed to the military cause: the center of Assyrian life. Money was used to pay for the production and manufacture of weapons, for transport and for sieges. Money was also set aside for execution and the capture/abduction of slaves and hostages. Assyria also gained large amounts of money by taxing the people they conquered. If these people refused to pay, the Assyrians would burn and destroy their cities. The people would be sent into exile. This ensured a steady stream of income into the Assyrian administration.

The Assyrian Empire and the Persian Empire were two of the earliest major empires in the world. The Assyrians were powerful from about 900 to about 600 BC. The Persian Empire came afterwards, holding power beginning around 550 BC. Both were empires in what we now call the Middle East. Both were monarchies. However, there were very important differences between the two.
A good way to express these differences is to say that, from our perspective, the Persian Empire was more enlightened. Because of this, it was possible for them to rule a much larger empire than the Assyrians could. The Assyrians had a much more autocratic and centralized system of government. The king of Assyria was seen as all-powerful. Everyone else in their society was seen as a slave of the king. When the Assyrians conquered other peoples, they tried to dominate them and exploit them. The Assyrians essentially used the outer parts of their kingdom as colonies to be exploited, not as valued parts of their own society.
By contrast, the Persian Empire was more enlightened. The king did not portray himself as a completely dominant figure. The people of the empire were portrayed as strong and important members of society. The empire was not exploited as ruthlessly for the benefit of the center. Instead, each part of the empire had its own governor and was seen as an equal part of the empire. Tribute was demanded from each region, but not as ruthlessly as in the Assyrian Empire.
Thus, the Assyrians and the Persians were both empires, but they ran in rather different ways.
