The Lachish Reliefs: A Picture of the Biblical Past

What if you could see a picture of a biblical event carved in stone? In this episode of Digging Deeper, we explore the Lachish Reliefs, ancient carvings commissioned by King Sennacherib of Assyria to commemorate his brutal siege of the city of Lachish—one of Judah’s last strongholds. These detailed panels, now housed in the British Museum, vividly align with the biblical account found in 2 Kings 18–19, offering a striking example of how archaeology and the Bible intersect.

Discover the historical context of the Assyrian invasion, the significance of Lachish in the biblical narrative, and how these reliefs serve as a powerful reminder of God's justice and the consequences of turning away from His commands. Featuring insights from archaeologists and Bible scholars, this episode sheds light on one of the most dramatic and visually documented moments in ancient history.
