In 701 BC, Assyria finally attacked Judah. Sweeping in from the west, Assyria overwhelmed the fortified cities, then mounted a siege of Lachish. With Lachish under siege, a contingent of the Assyrian army surrounded Jerusalem . . . then withdrew. Ultimately, Lachish fell, and the people who survived were carried off to a horrible fate . . . but King Hezekiah's faith in God saved Jerusalem, as 185,000 Assyrians were struck down by an angel of God.
