| Résumé: | In the past 150 years, the native Assyrian sources on the Neo-Assyrian empire have become so voluminous that scholars, quite naturally, have concentrated on them to describe the history and character of the empire. But how did that empire appear to its contemporaries from their sources? What contributions can such perspectives make to our understanding of the ways in which the empire functioned? This study will initiate an answer to these questions by examining one principal outside source for the Neo-Assyrian empire, the Hebrew Bible. After a brief overview of all the relevant Biblical texts, the paper will focus on one portion of the corpus, the First Isaiah, in order to ascertain: (1) the picture of the Assyrian state presented in that prophet, and (2) the origin of that picture. |
