| Summary: | The third campaign of King Sennacherib (701 bce) was against the rebellion vassals—including Hezekiah, king of Judah—in the western hemisphere of the Assyrian Empire. The campaign against Judah is one of the most recorded events in the history of ancient Israel in the monarchic period. It is recounted in various biblical as well as extra-biblical sources: in the Assyrian royal inscriptions (e.g. annals of Sennacherib, bull inscriptions, and his summary-inscriptions), in the early and late biblical historical-writings (2 Kgs 18:13-19:37; 20:6; 2 Chr. 32:1-23), and in the prophetical literature (e.g. Isa. 1:7-9; 22:9-11a; 29:1-8; 31:4-9; 36-37; 38:5b-6; Mic. 1:8-16). Scenes of the campaign, such as the conquest of Lachish, illustrated the central wall of the palace in Nineveh, just behind the throne of Sennacherib. There are also several archaeological discoveries in the Land of Israel (particularly in the excavations in Jerusalem, Lachish, and Timna) that shed light on the campaign, and most likely its place does not want also in a classical Greek source, namely in the Historia of Herodotus of Halicarnassus. Furthermore, the story has a long ‘after-life’ (Nachleben) in a number of Jewish and non-Jewish traditions. |
