Best Answer

King Sennacherib's older son was going to become king after his father died. Yet somehow his younger son convinced his older that he should be king. There was a ceremony and everyone pledged their allegiance to the younger son, including the older son. Afterwards however the older son wanted to be king and got very angry, the younger son was shipped off so he would be safe and the older son murdered his father and became king.
