		Sennacherib, the son and successor of Sargon II, inherited an empire that extended from Babylonia to southern Palestine and into Asia Minor, after the sudden death of his father.
		Sennacherib’s reaction was swift and devastating, as he led his army south to Merodach-baladan’s main base of Cuthah, which he besieged and captured.
		Sennacherib unexpectedly died at Nineveh in January 681 by parricide, according to the Bible (2 Kings 19:37), by the hands of two of his sons.

	Sennacherib -
		Sennacherib (in Akkadian Sin-ahhe-eriba, "Sin (the moon god) has taken the place of brothers to me") was the son of Sargon II, whom he succeeded on the throne of Assyria (705 BC–681 BC).
		Sennacherib sent his supreme commander with an army to besiege Jerusalem while he himself went to fight with the Egyptians.
		Shortly afterwards, while Sennacherib was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, two of his sons killed him and fled, thus God protected His people and sent judgment upon him who had previously blasphemed God.

	Saving Antiquities For Everyone (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		This book is the first to systematically describe and illustrate the modern destruction of a world class archaeological site, largely by the brutal forces of the illicit antiquities market.
		This final wave of destruction at Nineveh was all the more devastating, because the sudden appearance of Nineveh artifacts on the antiquities market heightened the demand for Assyrian wall reliefs, which accelerated the looting of similar sites.
		First, without his excellent photographic documentation of the remaining wall reliefs in Sennacherib's throne room taken during the late 1980s, knowledge of a great portion of these irreplaceable sculptures would be forever lost.

		While Jerusalem was able to withstand Sennacherib's siege, the rest of the country was devastated by the efficiency of the Assyrian war machine.
		The totality of the devastation rendered by Sennacherib and Assyria is seen in the destruction layers of numerous eighth century Judean cities, and most poignantly in the archaeological evidence left a Lachish.

		Sennacherib’s campaign began with the capture of the coastal cities of Phoenicia, the defeat of an Egyptian army in Philistia, and the conquest of Ekron.
		Sennacherib, the king of the world, the king of Assyria, sat on his throne, and the spoil of the city of Lachish marched before him.
		Now when Sennacherib was returning from his Egyptian war to Jerusalem, he found his army under Rabshakeh in danger, for God had sent a pestilential distemper upon his army; and on the very first night of the siege, a hundred fourscore and five thousand, with their captains and generals, were destroyed.

	Hezekiah (WebBible Encyclopedia) - ChristianAnswers.Net
		On the death of Sargon and the accession of his son Sennacherib to the throne of Assyria, Hezekiah refused to pay the tribute which his father had paid, and "rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not," but entered into a league with Egypt (Isa.
		This invasion issued in the destruction of Sennacherib's army.
		Hezekiah prayed to God, and "that night the angel of the Lord went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians 185,000 men." Sennacherib fled with the shattered remnant of his forces to Nineveh, where, seventeen years after, he was assassinated by his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer (2 Kings 19:37).

	Stolen Stones: The Modern Sack of Nineveh
		For two and one-half millennia, the only known account of this momentous event was in II Kings 18-19, which reports that Sennacherib's invincible army was laid low by the angel of the Lord, after which Sennacherib returned to Nineveh where he was murdered by his sons.
		In 1847 the young British adventurer Austen Henry Layard explored the ruins of Nineveh and rediscovered the lost palace of Sennacherib across the Tigris River from modern Mosul in northern Iraq.
		Potential buyers of Sennacherib fragments should be aware that very few such pieces appear legitimately on the market, and that many more fragments may have been smuggled out of Iraq, either from relief slabs known to have been broken up, or from other slabs in the palace museum.

		The preceding lines are not literal, they are instead a sustained metaphor in which an unbearable reality (the baby is dead) is replaced by something else (the comforting but unsustainable fantasy that the baby is merely sleeping).
		In "The Destruction of Sennacherib", each line has the basic pattern of two unstressed syllables followed by a third stressed syllable, with each of these basic patterns being repeated four times in a line.
		For example: Another tells of a buried child; The Destruction of Sennacherib tells of the last days of the Assyrian king; The silken tent compares a woman to a tent.

	Re: orion-list Sennacherib Destruction Layer at Qumran (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		As general background, L. Stager, "Farming in the Judean Desert during the Iron Age", BASOR 221 (1976) 145, dates the destruction of these cities to the time of Nebuchadnezzar based on the faulty premise (following Alt) that the fortresses of wilderness district at Josh 15:61-62 were constructed under Josiah.
		(Among other criticisms, their destruction by Sennacherib appears inconsistent with this thesis.) F.M. Cross and G.E. Wright, "The Boundary and Province Lists of the Kingdom of Judah", JBL 75 (1956) 202-226, presents arguments that the province lists of Judea in Josh 13-19 came from the time of Jehoshaphat.
		What is interesting and somewhat puzzling (to me) is that these place names (notably Secacah) seemingly persisted from the time of Sennacherib down to the time of the scrolls, despite the lapse in occupation.

		This book, 'The Final Sack of Nineveh: The Discovery, Documentation, and Destruction of King Sennacherib's Throne Room at Nineveh, Iraq', by John Malcolm Russell, is an important work of preservation in archaeology.
		Much of archaeological work can be, in fact, rather destructive -- careful documentation is vital, as layers are swept away to reveal lower levels, and in the process, much is in fact destroyed.
		However, this is perhaps not the most tragic of destructive times for Sennacherib's palace.

		Sennacherib, king of the mighty Assyrian empire, invaded with a huge army the southern kingdom of Judah in the reign of king Hezekiah (715-686 B.C.).

		In the "Palace without Rival" at Nineveh, the Assyrian King Sennacherib immortalised his 701 B.C. campaign against Jerusalem with a series of spectacular wall relief sculptures.
		Amazingly, when the palace was rediscovered twenty-five centuries later in 1847, the sculpture in the throne room areas remained largely intact.
		This book is not only a major contribution to the understanding of Assyrian palatial art and architecture, it is also the key to safeguarding the treasures of Sennacherib's palace and other ancient sites, for Russell proposes standards in archaeological excavation, documentation, and public policy that will help preserve cultural artifacts in an unstable world.

		This was true of the destruction that came upon Sennacherib's army in Isaiah's day.
		If it really does mean a year and some days, this was perhaps a reference by Isaiah to the coming destruction of Sennacherib in 701 B.C. The women and daughters of verses 9-11 are possibly understood to mean "the cities and villages of Judea" (note on verses 9-20).
		However, the prophecy, in its full accomplishment, refers to the utter desolation of Judea and its capital (Jerusalem) by Rome (soon after Christ's first coming), and subsequently (by the end-time resurrection of Rome—the final Assyria and Babylon), previous to the second coming of the King (Ps.
