Sennacherib (/səˈnækərɪb/; Akkadian: Sîn-ahhī-erība, "Sîn has increased the brothers"), king of Assyria 705 BCE–681 BCE, is remembered for his military campaigns against Babylon and Judah and for his building programs, notably at his capital Nineveh.The primary preoccupation of Sennacherib's reign was the so-called "Babylonian problem"–the refusal of the Babylonians to accept Assyrian rule–culminating in his destruction of the city in 689 BCE.
