Judah navigates its destiny in the trying times of the late 8th century BC.

The kingdom of Israel has been destroyed and divided. Tens of thousands of refugees flood into Judah. And Judeans ask themselves the hard question, what do they do about Assyria?

Do they rebel and suffer the consequences? Or do they pay the price of quiet and submission?

In this episode, we discuss Judah's choice, the fallout and why they made the choice that they did. We build this history on Assyrian writings and ancient Israelite and Philistine archeology found at Lachish, Jerusalem and Ekron.
