He is a significant figure in biblical history, particularly noted for his military campaigns against the Kingdom of Judah during the reign of King Hezekiah. His reign is documented in several books of the Bible, including 2 Kings, 2 Chronicles, and Isaiah.<br><br><b>Historical Context and Reign</b><br><br>Sennacherib ascended to the Assyrian throne following the death of his father, Sargon II. His reign was marked by extensive military campaigns aimed at consolidating Assyrian power and expanding its territories. Sennacherib's most notable campaign, from a biblical perspective, was his invasion of Judah in 701 BC. This campaign is recorded in <a href="/bsb/2_kings/18.htm">2 Kings 18-19</a>, <a href="/bsb/2_chronicles/32.htm">2 Chronicles 32</a>, and <a href="/bsb/isaiah/36.htm">Isaiah 36-37</a>.<br><br><b>Campaign Against Judah</b><br><br>Sennacherib's campaign against Judah is one of the most detailed military accounts in the Bible. According to <a href="/2_kings/18-13.htm">2 Kings 18:13</a> , "In the fourteenth year of Hezekiah’s reign, Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked all the fortified cities of Judah and captured them." The Assyrian king laid siege to Jerusalem, demanding its surrender. Hezekiah, in response, sought the counsel of the prophet Isaiah and turned to God in prayer.<br><br>The biblical narrative highlights Sennacherib's arrogance and blasphemy against the God of Israel. In <a href="/2_kings/18-19.htm">2 Kings 18:19-25</a>, Sennacherib's field commander, the Rabshakeh, taunts the people of Jerusalem, questioning their reliance on God and Hezekiah's leadership. The Rabshakeh's speech is a direct challenge to the faith of the Israelites, as he claims that no god of any nation has been able to withstand the might of Assyria.<br><br><b>Divine Intervention and Sennacherib's Defeat</b><br><br>The Bible records a miraculous deliverance for Jerusalem. In response to Hezekiah's prayer, God, through the prophet Isaiah, assures the king that Sennacherib will not enter the city. <a href="/isaiah/37-33.htm">Isaiah 37:33-35</a> states, "Therefore this is what the LORD says about the king of Assyria: 'He will not enter this city or shoot an arrow here. He will not come before it with a shield or build up a siege ramp against it. By the way that he came, he will return; he will not enter this city,' declares the LORD. 'I will defend this city and save it for My own sake and for the sake of My servant David.'"<br><br>That night, the angel of the LORD struck down 185,000 men in the Assyrian camp, forcing Sennacherib to withdraw and return to Nineveh (<a href="/2_kings/19-35.htm">2 Kings 19:35-36</a>). This event is seen as a testament to God's power and faithfulness to His people.<br><br><b>Sennacherib's Death</b><br><br>Sennacherib's demise is recorded in <a href="/2_kings/19-37.htm">2 Kings 19:37</a> : "One day, while he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him down with the sword and escaped to the land of Ararat. And his son Esarhaddon reigned in his place." This assassination fulfilled the prophecy given by Isaiah concerning Sennacherib's fate (<a href="/isaiah/37-7.htm">Isaiah 37:7</a>).<br><br><b>Archaeological Corroboration</b><br><br>The historical account of Sennacherib's campaign is corroborated by archaeological findings, including the Taylor Prism, which details Sennacherib's military exploits. The prism records the siege of Jerusalem, although it notably omits the Assyrian defeat, consistent with the biblical narrative of divine intervention.<br><br>Sennacherib remains a pivotal figure in biblical history, illustrating the themes of divine sovereignty, judgment, and deliverance. His interactions with Judah and the subsequent divine intervention serve as a powerful reminder of God's protection over His covenant people.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Sennacherib</span><p>bramble of destruction<a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Sennacherib</span><p>King of Assyria, son and successor of Shalmaneser, began to reign B. C. 710, and reigned but a few years. Hezekiah king of Judah having shaken off the yoke of the Assyrians, by which Ahaz his father had suffered under Tigloth-pileser, Sennacherib marched an army against him, and took all the strong cities of Judah. Hezekiah, seeing he had nothing left but Jerusalem, which he perhaps found it difficult to preserve, sent ambassadors to Sennacherib, then besieging and destroying Lachish, to make submission. Sennacherib accepted his tribute, but refused to depart, and sent Rabshakeh with an insolent message to Jerusalem. Hezekiah entreated the Lord, who sent a destroying angel against the Assyrian army, and slew in one night 185,000 men. Sennacherib returned with all speed to Nineveh, and turned his arms against the nations south of Assyria, and afterwards towards the north. But his career was not long; within two or three years from his return from Jerusalem, while he was paying adorations to his god Nisroch, in the temple, his two sons Adrammelech and Sharezer slew him and fled into Armenia. Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead, <a href="/context/2_kings/18-1.htm">2 Kings 18:1-19:37</a> <a href="/2_chronicles/32-33.htm">2 Chronicles 32:33</a>. </p><p>A most remarkable confirmation of the above Bible history has been found in the long buried ruins of ancient Nineveh. The mound called Kouyunijik, opposite Mosul, has been to a good degree explored, and its ruins prove to be those of a palace erected by this powerful monarch. The huge stone tablets which formed the walls of its various apartments are covered with bas-reliefs and inscriptions; and though large portions of these have perished by violence and time, the fragments that remain are full of interest. One series of tablets recounts the warlike exploits of Sennacherib, who calls himself "the subduer of kings from the upper sea of the setting sun to the lower sea of the rising sun," that is, from the Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf. </p><p>The most important of these mural pages to Bible readers, are those recounting the history of his war against Syria and the Jews, in the third year of his reign. Crossing the upper part of Mount Lebanon, he appears to have conquered Tyre and all the cities south of it on the seacoast to Askelon. In this region he came in conflict with an Egyptian army, sent in aid of King Hezekiah; this host he defeated and drove back. See <a href="/2_kings/19-9.htm">2 Kings 19:9</a> <a href="/context/isaiah/37-1.htm">Isaiah 37:1-38</a>. The inscription then proceeds to say, "Hezekiah king of Judah, who had not submitted to my authority, forty-six of his principal cities, and fortresses and villages dependant upon them, of which I took no account, I captured, and carried away their spoil. The fortified towns, and the rest of his towns which I spoiled, I severed from his country, and gave to the kings of Askelon, Ekron, and Gaza, so as to make his country small. In addition to the former tribute imposed upon their countries, I added a tribute the nature of which I fixed." Compare <a href="/2_kings/18-13.htm">2 Kings 18:13</a> <a href="/isaiah/36-1.htm">Isaiah 36:1</a>. He does not profess to have taken Jerusalem itself, but to have carried away Hezekiah's family, servants, and treasures, with a tribute of thirty talents of gold and eight hundred talents of silver. The amount of gold is the same mentioned in the Bible narrative. The three hundred talents of silver mentioned in Scripture may have been all that was given in money, and the five hundred additional claimed in the Ninevite record may include the temple and palace treasures, given by Hezekiah as the price of peace. </p><p>In another apartment of the same palace was found a series of wellpreserved bas-reliefs, representing the siege and capture by the Assyrians of a large and strong city. It was doubly fortified, and the assault and the defense were both fierce. Part of the city is represented as already taken, while elsewhere the battle rages still in all its fury. Meanwhile captives are seen flayed, impaled, and put to the sword; and from one of the gates of the city a long procession of prisoners is brought before the king, who is gorgeously arrayed and seated on his throne upon a mound or low hill. They are presented by the general in command, very possibly Rabshakeh, with other chief officers. Two eunuchs stand behind the king, holding fans and napkins. Above his head is an inscription, which is thus translated: "Sennacherib the mighty king, king of the country of Assyria, sitting on the throne of judging at the gate of the city Lachisa; I give permission for its slaughter." The captives are stripped of their armor, ornaments, and much of their clothing, and are evidently Jews. </p><p>Little did Sennacherib then anticipate the utter of his ruin of his own proud metropolis, and still less that the ruins of his palace should preserve to this remote age the tablets containing his own history, and the image of his god Nisroch so incapable of defending him, to bear witness for the God whom he blasphemed and defied. See <a href="../n/nineveh.htm">NINEVEH, NISROCH, SHALMANESER</a>, and <a href="../s/so.htm">SO</a>. </p><a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Sin (the god) sends many brothers, son of Sargon, whom he succeeded on the throne of Assyria (B.C. 705), in the 23rd year of Hezekiah. "Like the Persian Xerxes, he was weak and vainglorious, cowardly under reverse, and cruel and boastful in success." He first set himself to break up the powerful combination of princes who were in league against him. Among these was Hezekiah, who had entered into an alliance with Egypt against Assyria. He accordingly led a very powerful army of at least 200,000 men into Judea, and devastated the land on every side, taking and destroying many cities (<a href="/2_kings/18-13.htm">2 Kings 18:13</a>-16; Comp. <a href="/context/isaiah/22.htm">Isaiah 22</a>, 24, 29, and <a href="/2_chronicles/32-1.htm">2 Chronicles 32:1</a>-8). His own account of this invasion, as given in the Assyrian annals, is in these words: "Because Hezekiah, king of Judah, would not submit to my yoke, I came up against him, and by force of arms and by the might of my power I took forty-six of his strong fenced cities; and of the smaller towns which were scattered about, I took and plundered a countless number. From these places I took and carried off 200,156 persons, old and young, male and female, together with horses and mules, asses and camels, oxen and sheep, a countless multitude; and Hezekiah himself I shut up in Jerusalem, his capital city, like a bird in a cage, building towers round the city to hem him in, and raising banks of earth against the gates, so as to prevent escape...Then upon Hezekiah there fell the fear of the power of my arms, and he sent out to me the chiefs and the elders of Jerusalem with 30 talents of gold and 800 talents of silver, and divers treasures, a rich and immense booty...All these things were brought to me at Nineveh, the seat of my government." (Comp. <a href="/isaiah/22-1.htm">Isaiah 22:1</a>-13 for description of the feelings of the inhabitants of Jerusalem at such a crisis.)<p>Hezekiah was not disposed to become an Assyrian feudatory. He accordingly at once sought help from Egypt (<a href="/2_kings/18-20.htm">2 Kings 18:20</a>-24). Sennacherib, hearing of this, marched a second time into Palestine (<a href="/2_kings/18-17.htm">2 Kings 18:17</a>, 37; 19; <a href="/2_chronicles/32-9.htm">2 Chronicles 32:9</a>-23; <a href="/isaiah/36-2.htm">Isaiah 36:2</a>-22. Isaiah 37:25 should be rendered "dried up all the Nile-arms of Matsor, " i.e., of Egypt, so called from the "Matsor" or great fortification across the isthmus of Suez, which protected it from invasions from the east). Sennacherib sent envoys to try to persuade Hezekiah to surrender, but in vain. (see <a href="../t/tirhakah.htm">TIRHAKAH</a>.) He next sent a threatening letter (<a href="/2_kings/19-10.htm">2 Kings 19:10</a>-14), which Hezekiah carried into the temple and spread before the Lord. Isaiah again brought an encouraging message to the pious king (<a href="/2_kings/19-20.htm">2 Kings 19:20</a>-34). "In that night" the angel of the Lord went forth and smote the camp of the Assyrians. In the morning, "behold, they were all dead corpses." The Assyrian army was annihilated.<p>This great disaster is not, as was to be expected, taken notice of in the Assyrian annals.<p>Though Sennacherib survived this disaster some twenty years, he never again renewed his attempt against Jerusalem. He was murdered by two of his own sons (Adrammelech and Sharezer), and was succeeded by another son, Esarhaddon (B.C. 681), after a reign of twenty-four years. <a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">SENNACHERIB</span><p>se-nak'-er-ib (cancheribh; Sennachereim, Assyrian Sin-akhierba, "the moon-god Sin has increased the brothers"): Sennacherib (704-682 B.C.) ascended the throne of Assyria after the death of his father Sargon. Appreciating the fact that Babylon would be difficult to control, instead of endeavoring to conciliate the people he ignored them. The Babylonians, being indignant, crowned a man of humble origin, Marduk-zakir-shum by name. He ruled only a month, having been driven out by the irrepressible Merodach-baladan, who again appeared on the scene.<br><br>In order to fortify himself against Assyria the latter sent an embassy to Hezekiah, apparently for the purpose of inspiring the West to rebel against Assyria (<a href="/2_kings/20-12.htm">2 Kings 20:12-19</a>).<br><br>Sennacherib in his first campaign marched into Babylonia. He found Merodach-baladan entrenched at Kish, about 9 miles from Babylon, and defeated him; after which he entered the gates of Babylon, which had been thrown open to him. He placed a Babylonian, named Bel-ibni, on the throne.<br><br>This campaign was followed by an invasion of the country of the Cassites and Iasubigalleans. In his third campaign he directed his attention to the West, where the people had become restless under the Assyrian yoke. Hezekiah had been victorious over the Philistines (<a href="/2_kings/18-8.htm">2 Kings 18:8</a>). In preparation to withstand a siege, Hezekiah had built a conduit to bring water within the city walls (<a href="/2_kings/20-20.htm">2 Kings 20:20</a>). Although strongly opposed by the prophet Isaiah, gifts were sent to Egypt, whence assistance was promised (<a href="/isaiah/30-1.htm">Isaiah 30:1-4</a>). Apparently also the Phoenicians and Philistines, who had been sore pressed by Assyria, had made provision to resist Assyria. The first move was at Ekron, where the Assyrian governor Padi was put into chains and sent to Hezekiah at Jerusalem.<br><br>Sennacherib, in 701 B.C., moved against the cities in the West. He ravaged the environs of Tyre, but made no attempt to take the city, as he was without a naval force. After Elulaeus the king of Sidon fled, the city surrendered without a battle, and Ethbaal was appointed king. Numerous cities at once sent presents to the king of Assyria. Ashkelon and other cities were taken. The forces of Egypt were routed at Eltekeh, and Ekron was destroyed. He claims to have conquered 46 strongholds of Hezekiah's territory, but he did not capture Jerusalem, for concerning the king he said, in his annals, "himself like a bird in a cage in Jerusalem, his royal city, I penned him." He states, also, how he reduced his territory, and how Hezekiah sent to him 30 talents of gold and 800 talents of silver, besides hostages.<br><br>The Biblical account of this invasion is found in <a href="/2_kings/18-13.htm">2 Kings 18:13-19:37</a>; Isaiah 36; 37. The Assyrian account differs considerably from it; but at the same time it corroborates it in many details. One of the striking parallels is the exact amount of gold which Hezekiah sent to the Assyrian king (see The Expository Times, XII, 225, 405; XIII, 326).<br><br>In the following year Sennacherib returned to Babylonia to put down a rebellion by Bal-ibni and Merodach-baladan. The former was sent to Assyria, and the latter soon afterward died. Ashurnadin-shum, the son of Sennacherib, was then crowned king of Babylon. A campaign into Cilicia and Cappadocia followed.<br><br>In 694 B.C. Sennacherib attacked the Elamites, who were in league with the Babylonians. In revenge, the Elamites invaded Babylonia and carried off Ashur-nadin-shum to Elam, and made Nergalushezib king of Babylon. He was later captured and in turn carried off to Assyria. In 691 B.C. Sennacherib again directed his attention to the South, and at Khalute fought with the combined forces. Two years later he took Babylon, and razed it to the ground.<br><br>In 681 B.C. Sennacherib was murdered by his two sons (<a href="/2_kings/19-37.htm">2 Kings 19:37</a>; see SHAREZER). Esar-haddon their younger brother, who was at the time conducting a campaign against Ararat, was declared king in his stead.<br><br>A. T.
