Biblical Sources

The story of Sancheriv's campaign against Yehuda is one of the most documented of Biblical events. Tanakh discusses it at length in Melakhim II 18-19, Yeshayahu 36-37, and Divrei HaYamim II 32, and further alludes to it in the opening chapters of Yeshayahu and Mikhah.¹

• Melakhim and Yeshayahu – These two accounts are almost identical.

¹ See Yeshayahu 8:7-8 , Yeshayahu 10:5-19 and Mikhah 1:9-14.
