Oorwinningsstele van Esarhaddon
Die stele toon Esarhaddon wat links in 'n eerbiedige houding staan. Hy hou 'n knuppel in sy linkerhand, saam met 'n tou wat eindig in 'n ring wat deur die lippe van die twee oorwonne konings gaan wat voor hom kniel. Sy regterhand is gerig na die gode. Spykerskrif bedek die hele medium bas-reliëf toneel.

Asshur
second son of Shem (Gen 10:22 ; 1Chr 1:17). He went from the land of Shinar and built Nineveh, etc. (Gen 10:11 ; 10:12). He probably gave his name to Assyria, which is the usual translation of the word, although the form Asshur is sometimes retained (Num 24:22 ; 24:24; Ezek 27:23), etc. In (Gen 2:14 ) "Assyria" ought to be "Asshur," which was the original capital of Assyria, a city represented by the mounds of Kalah Sherghat, on the west bank of the Tigris. This city was founded by Bel-kap-kapu about B.C. 1700. At a later date the capital was shifted to Ninua, or Nineveh, now Koyunjik, on the eastern bank of the river. (See CALAH; NINEVEH)
