Strong's Lexicon Sancherib: Sennacherib Original Word: סַנְחֵרִיב Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Cancheriyb Pronunciation: san-khay-REEB Phonetic Spelling: (san-khay-reeb') Definition: Sancherib Meaning: Sennacherib Word Origin: Of foreign origin Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for סַנְחֵרִיב, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. However, the Greek Septuagint transliterates the name as Σενναχηρίμ (Sennacherim). Usage: This proper noun refers to Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, known for his military campaigns against the Kingdom of Judah during the reign of King Hezekiah. Context: Sennacherib, the son of Sargon II, reigned as king of Assyria from 705 to 681 BC. He is prominently featured in the biblical narrative for his invasion of Judah, as recorded in 2 Kings 18-19, 2 Chronicles 32, and Isaiah 36-37. Sennacherib's campaign against Judah is marked by his siege of Jerusalem, during which he sent envoys to demand the city's surrender. The biblical account highlights the faith of King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah, who prayed for divine intervention. In response, the Angel of the LORD struck down 185,000 Assyrian soldiers, leading to Sennacherib's retreat to Nineveh. This event is seen as a testament to God's protection over Jerusalem. Sennacherib's reign is also noted for his extensive building projects, including the expansion of Nineveh. His assassination by his sons, Adrammelech and Sharezer, is recorded in 2 Kings 19:37 and Isaiah 37:38. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin of foreign origin Definition a king of Assyr.
