LACHISH
A city in the southwest part of Judah, Joshua 10:3, Joshua 1:10, Joshua 1:10; fortified by Rehoboam, 2 Chronicles 11:9, and strong enough to resist for a time the whole army of Sennacherib, 2 Kings 18:17; 2 Kings 1:19; 2 Chronicles 32:1, 2 Chronicles 1:32, 2 Chronicles 1:32; Micah 1:13. It was here that king Amaziah was slain, 2 Kings 14:19. For a wonderful confirmation of the truth of Scripture, see Sennacherib.
