Assyrian Empire 750 BC
On the verge of overrunning Middle East
Assyria, based in what is now northern Iraq, began to push west, bullying city-state kingdoms into paying them taxes or tribute. They would conquer Syria first and kill the king in Damascus. Then, in 722 BC, they would erase Israel from the world map and deport the Jewish survivors. They would try to destroy Jerusalem, but didn't make it past the walls before something mysterious drove them away, possibly a bubonic-like plague, some scholars theorize.Where to find more Bible maps

Map Micah 3, Jerusalem Falls.
9 Listen to me you rulers of Jacob’s people,
You leaders of Israel
You crooks who poison justice,
And cheat fairness.
10 You have built Jerusalem
In the blood of my people.
You have built my sacred Zion[2]
On the solid rock of evil.
11 Your judges settle cases for a bribe.
Priests will teach you if you pay.
Prophets will advise you for a fee.
Yet they all have the nerve
To invoke God’s support.
They say,
“Absolutely, the LORD is with us
Nobody’s going to hurt us.”
12 Tell it to Jerusalem
When it’s a plowed field.
This city is coming down,
Collapsing into a pile of rocky ruins.
The stately Temple Mount, abandoned,
Will grow into a wooded hilltop.
Micah 3:9-12

God's warning to Nineveh
What makes you think you’re better than Thebes The city protected by Amon, And, like you, with walls of water? Armies of nations defended Thebes: Egypt and her allies, Ethiopia, Lybia, and Put. None of that mattered at all. Invaders captured Thebes, Smashed babies in the rocks, And arrested survivors for exile. Invaders threw dice for the nobles. Top officials left home in chains. You in Nineveh get a dose of that, too. The enemy will shock you And you’ll stagger like drunks. Then you’ll run for your lives and hide. Nahum 3:8-11Thebes in Egypt
