Sennacherib Moon god Sîn has replaced (lost) brothers for me" was the son of Sargon II, whom he succeeded on the throne of Assyria (704 – 681 BC). As a crown prince, Sennacherib was placed in charge of the empire while his father Sargon II was on campaign. Unlike his predecessors, the reign of Sennacherib was not marked as much by military campaigns as by building projects.

After that was done the king returned swiftly to aid the rest of his army. The rebellion was defeated and Marduk-apla-iddina II fled. Babylon was taken, and its palace plundered but its citizens were left unharmed. The Assyrians searched for Marduk-apla-iddina II, especially in the southern marshes, but he was not found. The rebellion forces in the Babylonian cities were wiped out and a Babylonian named Bel-Ibni who was raised at the Assyrian court was placed on the throne.
