Descrição dos anais e observações valiosas sobre o texto e o seu contexto hisórico, gentilmente dadas por Larry Rogers:
"Topic: Free online cuneiform bilingual discusses King Hezekiah of the Bible at great length. Bible. Neo-Assyrian Empire ( 911 - 605 BC). Akkadian language. Sennacherib's Annals. Also, some on Jewish holidays and Biblical persons as they relate to cuneiform.
<< The main account of Hezekiah's reign is found in 2 Kings 18–20, Isaiah 36–39, and 2 Chronicles 29–32 of the Hebrew Bible. Proverbs 25:1 mentions that it is a collection of King Solomon's proverbs that were "copied" "by the officials of King Hezekiah of Judah". His reign is also referred to in the books of the prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Hosea, and Micah. The books of Hosea and Micah record that their prophecies were made during Hezekiah’s reign. >>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezekiah
"The Annals of Sennacherib" by Luckenbill of the University of Chicago is one of the many free online documents hosted on U Chicago's website. They're a major source for free online documents in any language.
I read the introduction last night - it's from 1924 - and it's really riveting and shocking. I highly recommend it but warn you I know a bit about its time and place to understand it better than most. He makes shout outs to current events and American political theory and all sorts of stuff.
I'm going to take a risk here and include two comic book presentations of the events recounted in the Bible of King Hezekiah of Judea. He's pretty famous, I think, among people who read The Bible and comic book versions of it.
About the texts: Interesting spelling of Jerusalem.
Part of the big fun of texts like Behistun in cuneiform languages is that they make reference to super-famous and super-"arted" heros and adventures in The Bible.
So Purim (about mid-March) reminds of us of Queen Esther reminds us of the Persian Empire and its polyglotism.
The Nineveh of Jonah and Tobit remind us of the brutality of the Neo-Assyrian Empire.
Chanukkah (about December 10th) reminds us of The Books of Maccabees and the Greek Empire and a bit of Roman Empire. Which is out of the scope of cuneiform languages but the major Jewish holiday by celebration here in the USA, so worth mentioning here.
Daniel or his adventures doesn't have a major holiday but he probably learned Sumerian and Akkadian as part of his education and career under Neo-Babylonian, Neo-Assyrian, and Persian Empires.
... Other such histories of notable everyday people probably were written at the time of these Bible accounts ... but they haven't survived. We do get some idea from surviving letters, though, and there are some biographies that survive in tombs and such.
Pictures: Here's the neat parts from the work and also a comic book or graphic novel presentation of the Biblical events involving Sennacherib and Hezekiah and Jerusalem. Also, a famous poem excert from the famous and celebrated Lord Byron. And a dramatic woodblock print by Gustav Dore."
