RE: Sennacherib kinda failed but he didn’t dump $84 billion in money and weapons to the Pashtun tribes.
He couldn’t. The Bible says he was assassinated soon after his army returned from the siege of Jerusalem due to an Angel slaying tens of thousands of his soldiers in one night ( secular historians called it a mysterious plague ).
At least he led sort of from the front. 185,000 dead from an angel or disease?
At least the Assyrian’s put him to death after the fail. This day and age our nation gives them a dress and a medal
