In 701 BCE, Judah experienced the full force of #Assyrian might with the invasion of #Sennacherib.

Every major city of Judah, save Jerusalem, was besieged and destroyed, with their inhabitants killed or enslaved.

Jerusalem escaped because of the pleading of Hezekiah and the people.

Judah should have learned the need for repentance from this experience, as it was the fulfillment of much of what Isaiah had prophesied. But would they?

The word of YHWH through #Isaiah, particularly in Isaiah 1:1-12:6, indicted the Judahites, particularly within the king's house and among the elite, for their #transgressions.

Isaiah warned Judah of the imminent threat of #Assyrian domination if they did not repent of their idolatry, abuse of the poor and marginalized, and other such transgressions.

Judah did not repent; Judah would suffer the consequences.
