from Holy Lit: The Bible · host Allen
We're in the late 8th century BCE, around 701 BC. The ancient Near East is basically a nightmare for anyone who's not Assyria. The Assyrian Empire is the superpower. They're like an unstoppable war machine that conquers everything in its path. They destroyed the northern kingdom of Israel a few decades earlier in 722 BCE, took the people captive, and scattered them. Now Judah—the southern kingdom with Jerusalem as its capital—is next.Source:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1t7goso5tbS7E7d8UTvV9WzWuZu9HwPW4/view?usp=sharing
