[British Museum, Nos. 1668 a, 1671].) The inscription states that Sargon made war against the Medes, and gives a list of the names of the Governors of Median cities. It also gives a fairly full account of his famous campaign in the ninth year of his reign against Azuri, king of Ashdod, when Hezekiah was king of Judah (see Isaiah xx. 1). Sargon succeeded in crossing the moat, thirty-six feet deep, which the inhabitants of Ashdod had flooded, and captured the city. The people of Philistia, Judah, Edom and Moab had sent gifts to Pharaoh, king of E^vpt, and had asked his help ; but the result of their mission is not known. Sargon attacked the allied forces near Egypt, and defeated them, and their leaders fled.
