80?. scenes, which the Assyi'ian despots loved to have before their eyes in their palaces, have come down to us to illustrate many passag-es in which the prophets speak of enemies '''' building forts'''' (these are often seen in the sculj^tures), ^^ casting mounds^^^ and ^^ setting battering-rams^'' against Je- rnsalem ; and the relief now described exactly illustrates the passage in Isaiah : " Thus saith the Lord concerning the king of Assgria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot :tn a...rroio tJiere, nor come before it icith shields, nor cast a bank against it. '-'" § 3. Through the destruction of his palaces, the records of Tiglath-pileser have come down to us in a very fragmentary form ; but enough remains to show that he was engaged in constant wars for the re-establishment of the empire. His first enterprise was against Babylonia, which had now fallen into confusion. There is no mention, in his annals, of Na- bonassar, whom Ptolemy's Canon represents as now reign- ing at Babylon ; but he names several princes of the up})er country, whom he attacked and defeated, taking Kur-Gala- zu and Sippara ; while, in the maritime region of Chaldtea, he received the submission of 3Ierodach-Bal;idan, the son of Yakin, whose capital was the city of Bit-Yakin.
