Excerpt from The Holy City and Gehenna The title is generally admitted to be late, so that the subject could be Assyria, or its king (sennacherib), and the author Isaiah. See Cobb, jel, 1896, p. 27 it, who contrasts the opposing views of two such critics as Cheyne and Winckler. See also W. Staerk, Das assyrische Weltreich im Urteil der Propheten, 1908, p. 226. Nach dem Vorgangs von Winckler und Cobb denken jetzt auch J eremias und Wilke mit Recht an einen assyr ischen Kenig, und unter diesen kann es sich kaum um andere als Sargon oder Sanherib handeln. Es scheint mir mit Sicherheit hervorzugehen, dass Sanheribs Tod der Anlass zu diesem ironischen Klageliede gewesen ist.
