* when he heard.
When Sennacherib had levied contributions on Hezekiah, he
marched his army into Egypt; where, after several successes,
he laid siege to Pelusium, and spent much time in it; but
hearing that Tirhakah, king of Ethiopia, whom Strabo calls
Therchon, was marching against him with a great army, to
assist his kinsman Sevechus, or Sethon, the king of Egypt, he
durst not abide his coming, but raised the siege; and
returning to Judea, he encamped against Lachish, and
afterwards against Libnah. But finding that Tirhakah pursued
him as a fugitive, he marched back to encounter him; and
having totally routed his army, he returned to wreak his
vengeance on Hezekiah.
