In 701 BC the Assyrian king Sennacherib launched his campaign against Judah. This event has been recorded in the Hebrew Bible and, as a consequence, has decisively influenced Jewish and Christian thought. This text brings together both Biblical and Assyrian, sources on the campaign. Part of these abundant Assyrian materials are modern offering a different insight on the event itself. A second majr result of this study lies in the carefully supported interpretations of some "Isaiah Chronicles", and of both the "Assyrian and Biblical Narratives" of Sennacherib's campaign.
