  1. Maybe if he gave the bread to his son, it would’ve worked lol. I’ve been dissuaded from murder by a good meal before.

  2. Imagine being a priest at that time, just standing there, powerless to do anything against the mad Assyrian king as he snatched your god out of his temple just because your king slighted him.

  3. Something about this story just… Gets me, man. Something about a mad warlord obsessed with power forgetting what’s close to him and his ultimate success is really human.

    I mean of course he was definitely worried that they were going to KILL him, but it still doesn’t detract much from the impact.
