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)
