became the leader of the revolt. It took Sennacherib until 701 BC to quiet the other provinces sufficiently to turn his attention to Hezekiah. However, the Bible records an invasion of Sennacherib king of Assyria, in the 14th year of Hezekiah king of Judah. Assyrian records also give the account of the invasion of

prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah were two prophets that prophesied to the falling and fallen kingdom of Judah. Isaiah prophesies to Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah. Jeremiah prophesies during the reign of Josiah through the captivity of Judah. Isaiah prophesies to a rebelling nation, while Jeremiah prophesies to a nation that has been sorely punished for this rebellion. As we can see then, the kingdom of Judah did not listen to Isaiah, because else they would have repented. Something that is important

1) Why do you think God allowed the tribes of Benjamin and Judah to fall to the Neo-Babylonians in 587-6 B.C.? God had mercy on Judah for a long time, while they turned to Him for help and listened to Him. But after King Manasseh's reign of rampant idolatry, in which he murdered innocent people and led Judah to follow false gods, God said that he would judge them by giving them up to their enemies. 2) How did the Babylonians differ in the treatment of prisoners than the Assyrians? Whenever

to punish Judah’s King Hezekiah for supporting an insurgency by Egypt and Babylonia. In order to get what he wanted, Sennacherib laid siege to 46 cities between Assyria and Jerusalem. A prime example of this is Lachish, the second largest city in Judah after Jerusalem. The sacking of Lachish is considered to be Sennacherib’s biggest feat, and he vividly describes his accomplishments in taking Lachish on the walls of his Assyrian palace. Town to town, he made his way towards Jerusalem, leaving a trail

that Nebuchadnezzar was as ruthless as described by Mrs. Murphy. When Jehoahaz became King of Egypt, Necho got rid of him and Judah became part of Egypt. When the Babylonians defeated Egypt in 605 BC, Judah then became part of Babylon. The Babylonians were defeated by Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar, raised an expedition to punish Judah. Zedekiah was appointed king of Judah. Nebuchadnezzar deported around 10,000 people. Most of these people were professionals, wealthy, and craftsmen. Nebuchadnezzar

Prophet Research Form: Micah A. Settings 1. Political Situation – Micah prophesies during three kings of Judah; Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah., circa 740 BCE. Isaiah also prophesied in Judah during this period. Micah did not belong to the Jerusalem elite and as an oracle of YHWH he spoke of Israel’s religious sins. Micah viewed Jerusalem as morally corrupt where the rulers abused the downtrodden (not much has changed). He proclaims the end of Jerusalem because of the open market, (socialism was a

Isaiah’s major themes are justice and judgement. Isaiah’s purpose was to foretell events that would soon take place. Babylon and the surrounding nations were the audience he was speaking to. Yet, the judgement that Isaiah warned would occur to the Babylonians also represents a futuristic judgement that will take place in the tribulation period described in the Book of Revelation. Babylon had fallen into sin, and God would destroy Babylon like He did Sodom and Gomorrah. The entire passages reveal

God is. The passage is a simple prayer of King Hezekiah of Judah. And this passage is placed right between 2 King 19 which seems to be the middle of the story of King Hezekiah of Judah but this is the pivotal point of the story. In addition, the passage shows the most critical and difficult state for Hezekiah. He is cornered in by Sennacherib and there is no way out. 2 Kings 19:1-7 is about prophet Isaiah encouraging Hezekiah that Judah will not be delivered by the hand of Sennacherib. And 2 Kings

The Kingdoms of Judah and Israel from ca. 922 to 586 BCE have a significant impact not only on the Jewish tradition, but also on the history of Ancient Israel and its development, therefore it is important to discuss their political structure and influence. To discuss the political structure and developments of this period modern scholars refer to as the divided monarchy in Ancient Israel, there must first be a discussion of the political and religious factors that bring about the unification and

After the failure of the Judges, “Israel desired a king, so they could be like all other nations.” (1Sam 5:8 paraphrased) Creating a United Monarchy meant many changes would have to take place. At the time Israel had been theocracy and God was their King, however the elders had a different plan. They wanted a king, even if it meant rejecting God. God told Samuel to listen to the people, appoint them a king, but make sure they understand what the king who reigns over them will do Samuel explained
