Image description

Lachish was an ancient Near East town located at the site of modern Tel Lachish or Tell ed-Duweir in the Shephelah, a region between Mount Hebron and the maritime Mediterranean coast. The town was first mentioned in the Amarna letters as Lakisha-Lakiša (EA 287, 288, 328, 329, 335). According to the Bible, the Israelites captured and destroyed Lachish for joining the league against the Gibeonites (Joshua 10:31-33), but its territory was later assigned to the tribe of Judah (15:39) and became a part of the Kingdom of Israel. Inscription: “To my lord Yaush. May Yahweh make this time a good one for you. Who is your servant (but) a dog that my lord should have sent (him) the king's letter and those of the officials asking me to read them? The [officials’] statements are not good – (they are of a kind) to slacken your courage and to weaken that of the men […]. Won't you write to [them] as follows: ‘[Why] are you acting thus?’ […] As Yahweh your God lives, ever since your servant read the letters he has not had [a moment's peace].”
