Sennacherib, the son of Sargon II, crusaded broadly and cruelly
in which he surmount Israel, Judah and some provinces in Greece in Anatolia.
His military triumphs improved the prosperity of the realm beyond what Sargon
II had consummate, even though his supremacy was blemished by persistent military
movements contrary to Babylon and the Elamites. He enthused the capital from
Sargon’s City to Nineveh and constructed structure which is recognized as “the
Palace without Rival”. Despite all of these, Babylon has been obstinate throughout
his reign and gradually grew weary of it. He learned to disregard the teachings
from the past and was not satisfied by his means and the indulgence of the
city, he flock his army against Babylon, dismissed it and robbed the temples.
The robbing and devastation of the temples was understood as the stature of irreverence
by the individuals of the area.
