The Seven Great Monarchies Of The Ancient Eastern World, Vol 2. (of 7): Assyria

CHAPTER IX
153/306

Sennacherib did not attempt any pursuit, but was content to receive the submission of the various cities over which Luliya had ruled, and to establish in his place, as tributary monarch, a prince named Tubal.

He then received the tributes of the other petty monarchs of these parts, among whom are mentioned Abdilihat king of Avrad.

Hurus-milki king of Byblus.

Mitinti king of Ashdod, Puduel king of Beth-Ammon, a king of Moab, a king of Edom, and (according to some writers) a "Menahem king of Samaria." After this Sennacherib marched southwards to Ascalon, where the king, Sidka, resisted him, but was captured, together with his city, his wife, his children, his brothers, and the other members of his family.

Here again a fresh prince was established in power, while the rebel monarch was kept prisoner and transported into Assyria.
