Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by destroying them utterly; and shall you be delivered?
Read Chapter 37
Jerome
AD 420
We are hastening past the obvious, that we would remain with doubts. But Herodotus writes (as does the most prolific Berosus, historian of the Chaldeans, whose faith can be derived from their own books) that Sennacherib the king of the Assyrians fought against the Egyptians and besieged Pelusium. And with mounds already amassed in the city for conquest Tirhakah the king of Ethiopia came to their assistance, and in one night 185 thousand soldiers of Assyria fell to disease near Jerusalem. - "Commentary on Isaiah 11.37.8–13"
