Specifically, in 2 Kings 19:37 and Isaiah 37:38, King Sennacherib of Assyria is said to have been assassinated by his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer in the temple of Nisroch, which is likely a scribal error for Nimrod.
If Nisroch indeed refers to Ninurta, then Sennacherib's murder likely occurred in Ninurta's temple in Calah.
During Sethos' reign, Egypt faced a significant threat from Sennacherib, the king of Assyria.
