'Just Stories?' #13

When Hezekiah, king of Judah, was under threat from the Assyrian king Sennacherib (around 701 BC), he stripped the gold from the temple in Jerusalem and sent it to Sennacherib to try to buy him off. (He did this in spite of the fact that the prophet Isaiah had already told Hezekiah that Sennacherib would not be able to touch Jerusalem - see 2 Kings chapters 18 and 19).
A panel from Khorsabad, on display in the British Museum, lists Hezekiah’s tribute to Sennacherib.
With Ian Cooper, pastor of Tollgate Evangelical Church in Reigate, UK.
