EXTRACT FROM A CUNEIFORM TEXT recording the siegaof Jerusalem, inscribed on a clay cylinder of the Annals of Sen-nacherib (B. C. 705-681), now in the British Museum. The substance of Sennacheribs account is as follows : Six and forty of the fencedcities, and the fortresses, and the villages round about them, belonging to Hezekiah the Jew,who had not submitted to my rule, I besieged and stormed and captured. I carried awayfrom them two hundred thousand and one hundred and fifty souls, great and small, male andfemale, and horses, mules, asses, camels, oxen, and sheep without number. In his house inJerusalem I shut up Hezekiah like a bird in a cage. I threw up mounds round about thecity from which to attack it, and I blockaded his gates. The cities which I had capturedfrom him I took away from his kingdom and I gave them to Mitinti, king of Ashdod. .... r
