    The rebellion of the king of Judah against the Assyrian Empire in 701 BCE placed Jerusalem in great danger. This video depicts Jerusalem's ordeal under the threat of Assyrian siege and Hezekiah's creative solution to the city's resulting water problem. Hezekiah's water system was an engineering wonder that included the hewing of a 533-meter-long tunnel in the depths of the rock. By means of Hezekiah's tunnel, which is mentioned in the Bible and in the Shiloah (Siloam) Inscription, the water of the Gihon Spring was diverted into the city, out of reach of the Assyrians.

    The refugees that came to Jerusalem from the collapsing kingdom of Israel in 721 BCE built their homes in an unsettled area on the city's western hill, and King Hezekiah had to protect this area from Sennacherib's army ahead of the Assyrian siege. This video shows the massive wall that Hezekiah built, a portion of which was uncovered in the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem by archaeologist Nahman Avigad. At the foot of the wall are the remains of private dwellings that were demolished during its construction, an action that angered the prophet Isaiah.

    When King Hezekiah rebelled against Assyria in 701 BCE, Sennacherib launched a campaign against Judah and conquered all of its fortified cities. Sennacherib immortalized the conquest of the city of Lachish in huge reliefs that he installed in his palace in the Iraqi city of Nineveh. This animated video brings alive the reliefs uncovered in archaeological excavations and dramatically depicts the Assyrian war machines assaulting the city. The inhabitants of Lachish appear in the reliefs as they valiantly fight from the walls and then as they are brought a as humiliated prisoners of war before Sennacherib, seated on his throne.
