Description
Sennacherib’s Campaign Through Judah
King Sennacherib of Assyria launched a major invasion of Judah in 701 BC. His army came from the north and moved through the country, attacking fortified cities along the way. Lachish became one of the most important targets, and Assyrian records and artwork preserve vivid images of the city’s siege.
After taking cities in the western foothills, the Assyrians pushed toward Jerusalem. Sennacherib’s forces surrounded the capital, while an Assyrian army remained at Lachish. The map traces the invasion route and shows how the campaign brought the powerful Assyrian Empire deep into Judah.
Egypt attempted to come to Judah’s rescue, approaching from the southwest. But the Assyrians forced the Egyptian forces to retreat. The geography explains why Judah was so vulnerable: its cities stretched across the coastal plain and hill country, creating several routes an invading army could use to reach Jerusalem.
The invasion became one of the most dramatic moments in Judah’s history. Jerusalem survived the Assyrian threat, while the campaign left a lasting record of Assyria’s military power. Mapping the route from the coastal cities through Lachish and toward Jerusalem helps put the biblical accounts of Sennacherib’s invasion into perspective.
