Sennacherib, the Assyrian king, conducted a military campaign against Jerusalem in 701 BCE, during which he laid siege to the city. In the process, he captured and devastated numerous towns in the surrounding region, such as Lachish and Libnah, inflicting heavy casualties and destruction. His forces aimed to weaken the defenses and morale of Jerusalem by showcasing their power and ruthlessness against nearby settlements. Ultimately, despite his aggressive tactics, Jerusalem itself was not captured.

Why was the third crusade a failed attempt for Richard 1st?

The primary objective of the third crusade was to recapture Jerusalem from the Muslims. On the way to Jerusalem they encountered resistance from Salahidin's forces but managed to capture several coastal towns in the holy land. By the time the crusades reached Jerusalem, they had lost too many soldiers and realized that even if they captured Jerusalem (which was unlikely), they would not be able to defend it against a Muslim counterattack. Because of this they retreated.

What towns in Israel did Jesus visit?

Jerusalem was probably the only "city" he visited, although Nazareth is referred to as a city by Matthew and Luke, Capernaum is called a city by Mark and Luke, Bethlehem is called a city by Luke, as is Nain, and Bethsaida..... Other than Jerusalem, these places were not "cities" by any definition.... they were towns, and even villages, of small populations.
