We possess no native records of his conquest of the country, but Manetho states that he burned Bocchoris alive. Lower Egypt was subdued, Ethiopian Supremacy acknowledged, and Shabaka en trenched himself so firmly that he became founder of the Twenty-fifth Dynasty (or Ethiopian) as reported by Manetho. Appreciating the serious danger of Assyria's presence on his very borders, Shabaka immediately sent his agents among the Syro-Palestinian states to excite them to revolt. In Philistia, Judah, Moab...aud, Edom, he promised the vassals of Assyria support in rebellion against their Ninevite Suzerain. Remembering the ancient supremacy of Egypt, failing to understand the state of decadent importance into which she had fallen, and anxious to shake off oppressive Assyrian yoke, they lent a ready ear to the emissaries of Shabaka. Only in Judah did the prophet statesman, Isaiah, foresee the futility of depending upon Egypt, and the final catastrophe which should overtake her at the hands of Assyria.
