The Brutal Assyrian Siege of Lachish: Judean City Destroyed

[@sparrafien]

i worked at Mushav Lachish in 1996, i walked over the city, and around it many times, that time there was almost no dig sites on the old city, what an experience, love the country, love the people

[@worldwidemapping9314]

i'm Assyrian and i'm sorry for what we did to the Jews. we even have modern Aramaic (Assyrian) Jews but they're referred as Kurdish Jews nowadays.

[@405boy4]

Why apologize? This massacre on the Ancient Israelites was God's judgement on them for worshipping idols..

[@BlisterBang]

@@405boy4Correct. And even if it wasn't, the OP is hardly responsible for what was done 2,700 years ago.

REFUSE TO PAY TAXES CAN GOT YOU IN ALOT OF TROUBLE.

[@BlisterBang]

Extortion does not equal taxes. And all-caps equals automatic down-vote.

The Assyrian King it wasn’t his eye on the Jerusalem city it was on the information and the history that Jewish took and converted to their own benefits he wanted to stop the rumors and destroying our Assyrian history that’s why is the reason Assyrian’s kings after the Jewish people.

[@MrRobertbyers]

Well done. this place for bible believers is important. Masada has nothing to do with the bible. This is a great place from the bible, Assyria,. Just incredible. The Jewish King was the one who got to live longer with gods sign of the sundial moving back ten minutes. The Assyrian army, 185, 000, was destroyed in a night by God. probably the same folks who destroyed this city. i think it was more then ten thousand. tHey always put low the numbers. Assyria by the way is the origin for the name Asia.

More likely disease that kill the assyrian army.with can compare to death in US civil war.more soldiers from both side were killed by disease rathsn in the battlefield.

[@יהודההאפרתי]

mashada is biblical jericho

[@BlisterBang]

@@richardque4952 You are living proof that disbelievers can always find excuses for what God does. Try to believe that the Assyrian army roamed all around the area destroying every capitol and city state, hung around outside Lachish over the time it takes to build a ramp big enough for their army to come up - one rock-toss at a time, wipe out Lachish, cruise on over to less fortified Jerusalem, and then suddenly lose 185,000 generals, commanders, and their best troops in one night because *they got sick*. Come on! Get a grip! God really DOES exist!

[@jimksa67]

Come on, there are no ten lost Tribes Bro. The Apostle John and Stephen the martyr attests to that. Many went south to Judah before Israel was destroyed.

[@YahalEL7]

Technically still lost tribes only the Jews remain today all the rest either merged with the Jews or merged with other nations

[@NorceCodine]

Deporting and resettling a conquered people was common practice. The irony is that many people in Syria today have ancestry that go back to the deported Jews from Israel, most are not even aware of it anymore. The largest and best educated Jewish diaspora was in Baghdad for a reason too, going back to the deportations of Nebuchadnezzar.

⁠@@AxelMegatonSennacherib’s army was destroyed, but where’s the evidence Isaiah and Ahaz sent out men to do so? Moreover, what war crimes did Israel commit? Was Sennacherib’s army on its own soil defending itself or was it the invading force? Even Sennacherib’s own son killed him eventually. Seems like divine justice for the real war criminal

[@AxelMegaton]

​Neither Sennacherib's army was destroyed nor was he murdered by his own sons. Nor was there any so-called "Angel of the Lord" this whole history of robbers is made up by Hezekiah and Isaiah to purify and deepen Judaism in the Israelites and instill respect and fear of KhaShem in them. They knew, of course, what was engraved on Sennacherib's cylinder and adapted their story to it. Furthermore, Sennacherib was more Jewish than both Hezekiah and Isaiah combined. Barukh KhaShem, khayet Omtan Ashureta!​@@chadm6777
