“Ancient City Gate and Shrine from Hebrew Bible Uncovered”

 

From the Lachish reliefs
One of the Lachish reliefs from the palace of Sennacherib in Nineveh (modern Iraq). The inscription on the upper left side reads: “Sennacherib, the mighty king, king of the country of Assyria, sitting on the throne of judgment, before (or at the entrance of) the city of Lachish (Lakhisha).   I give permission for its slaughter.”  (Wikimedia Commons public domain image)
