	Tirhakah
		Tirhakah - the last king of Egypt of the Ethiopian (the fifteenth) dynasty.

		Tirhakah was the Cushite (i.e., from Nubia or Soudan) king who marched against Sennacherib's Assyrians but apparently turned back.

	Sennacherib's Invasion of Judah
		It is clear, however, that Tirhakah, a later pharaoh of Egypt’s twenty-fifth dynasty, did not ascend to the throne until 690 B.C. Kitchen 161).
		If the earliest date for Tirhakah’s predecessor’s reign is accepted, then Tirhakah could have been summoned at twenty years old to Egypt in 701, and therefore could have taken part in some sort of attack on Sennacherib (Kitchen 158-9).

		Tirhakah has left in Egypt many monuments, extending from Tanis to Napata, his capital in Nubia.

	Nabataea: Bible Chronologies Solomon to Hezekiah Part II
		Tirhakah, king of Ethiopia and Egypt, is mentioned in II Kings 14:9, and Isaiah 37:9 as a contemporary of Sennacherib's invasion of Judah in Hezekiah's fourteenth year, 701 NC.
		But again, the date for the accession of Shabaka, which was twenty four years before Tirhakah, is 712 BC (Breasted, A History of the Ancient Egyptians, pages 374, 435) which is at least twelve years too late to agree with the scripture date.
		This is the same difference as was founded in the dates for Tirhakah and so (Shabaka) and is additional evidence that Tirhakah's reign must be lengthened by thirteen years to bring the Egyptian dates all into harmony with the Bible chronology.
