Descrição dos anais e observações valiosas sobre o texto e o seu contexto hisórico, gentilmente dadas por Larry Rogers:

 Larry Rogers wrote:

"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. >>

"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."

Fui pesquisar o documentário para tentar assisti-lo na web e notei que há um homônimo, de 1965, no famoso site Vimeo sobre o qual devemos alertar, para que os leitores não confundam as duas obras:

Tradução inglesa e comentários postados pelo canal do Youtube evananic:
Foram necessárias algumas pequenas modificações no primeiro, segundo e terceiro parágrafos do texto postado pelo canal, devido a algumas inadequações mais sérias nele verificadas em termos da norma culta do inglês, mas que em nada modificaram o sentido aparentemente pretendido pelo autor da descrição, como pode ser constatado no original no link da página do vídeo.

'"Lullaby of Takeda", one of the Beautiful Japanese Folk Songs. Actually, the lyrics of the song  includes significant meanings, which are based on a sad folktale of a small girl, born at a very poor family in an isolated small village called "Takeda", located at current Fushimi-Ward, Kyoto Prefecture of Kansai Region.'

'One day she was forcibly put out to service for a rich family of a landlord to earn their keep, whose house was located at the next village over a mountain even though she was an infant.'

'During the period of her bitter days, her daily hard work carrying a small baby on her back would always reminde her of her family and sweet home while looking at the silhouette of the mountains in the direction of her homeland.'

'That is to say, such circumstances seem to have made her sing this song sadly in her mind, and which has been orally transmitted from people to people and finally evolved into a most beautiful lullaby across the Kansai Region.'

"Song performed by Akai Tori [The Red birds], Japanese folk-song group."

Unwilling baby-sitting,
Thinking of days after mid-summer Bon[*] holiday,
Then flurry of cold snow continues,
And a baby's repeating cry.

Even coming Bon holiday, what is so joyful.
No clothes and no sash to attire.

The baby is so irritable to cry,
That baby's crying annoys me

Baby-sitting for a whole day,
That makes me getting so skinny

Wishing to get back home in a hurry across the border,
That's my parents' home which can be seen far away.
That's my parents' home which can be seen far away.


Bon[*];
'Bon or Obon is a Japanese Buddhist custom to honor the deceased spirits of one's ancestors. This Buddhist custom has evolved into a family reunion holiday during which people return to ancestral family places and visit and clean their ancestors' graves, and when the spirits of ancestors are supposed to revisit the household altars.
It has been celebrated in Japan for more than 500 years and traditionally includes a dance, known as Bon-Odori, Mid-summer Dance Festival.
The Festival of Obon lasts for three days; however its starting date varies within different regions of Japan."'
