Isaiah ch.17 - The Assyrian "Harvest" of 732 BCE

Our chapter is entitled "Pronouncement against Damascus" but what it really describes is the Assyrian advance of Tiglat Pilesser in 732 BCE which devastated and destroyed 1. Damascus, 2. The Israelite tribes in the Transordan and 3. The Galilee panhandle. Yishayahu also addresses the spiritual causes and effects of this blistering attack.
