The Northern Kingdom

The Northern Kingdom was destroyed by Sinakarib, the ruler of Assyria in 701 BC. Hezekiah had to squash rebellion against Babylonians, Philistines, Egyptians and then Judea. According to him, according to the Assyrians, he captured I think 46 towns. There's a lot of exaggeration happening in this story that has to be taken with grain of salt.
