King Sennacherib of Assyria Attacks the City of Lachish
The central battle in Sennacherib’s campaign against Judah was at Lachish in 701 BCE. Lachish was an important fortress city, located 25 miles southwest of Jerusalem.
Amazingly, Sennacherib recreated in great detail scenes from the merciless battle on reliefs that adorned the walls of his “Palace without Rival” in Nineveh.
The Lachish Reliefs are currently on display in the British Museum in London. Part of the inscription from Sennacherib’s Palace at Nineveh reads:
“Sennacherib, king of the universe, king of Assyria, seated upon a sedan chair, the spoils of Lachish passed before him."
2 Chronicles 32:9
Later, as Sennacherib king of Assyria and all his forces besieged Lachish, he sent his servants to Jerusalem with a message for King Hezekiah of Judah and all the people of Judah who were in Jerusalem.
