Abstract:
The author of Isa 10:5-15 is familiar with the language, literary genre, and ideology of Assyrian royal inscriptions, which he has been able to invert. The many conquests of the Assyrian king were a source of pride for him and increased his hubris. His punishment is described in Isaiah 10 and 14. Despite some similarities between the wording of the taunt of the king in Isaiah 14 and the Canaanite myth, it is not a mythical story. The struggle described here is between the king of Assur and the God of Israel. The king should probably be identified with Sargon II, who fell in Anatolia, and was left unburied.
