Summary
In 701 BC, Assyria's powerful army laid siege to Jerusalem, after already pillaging forty-six Judean towns and cities -- but something happened. Instead of completing the attack, the invaders hastily abandoned their siege works, leaving the City of David intact.… The Bible credits divine intervention, modern scholars cite a plague, but the author concludes that in the eighth century BC an Egyptian Pharaoh dispatched an army of Kushites, black Africans like himself, to do battle with the Assyrians. 2002.
