| Obverse [0:1] 11–11 | Palace of Sennacherib, great king, strong king, king of the world, king of [Assyria, king of the four quarters (of the world), (and) favorite of the great gods]: |
| Obverse [1:2] 22–22 | [The god Aš]šur, father of the gods, looked steadfastly upon me among all of the rulers [and he made my weapons greater than (those of) all who sit on (royal) daises]. |
| Obverse [2:4] 33–44 | [I]n a pitched battled in the plain of Kish, I repulsed Mar[duk-apla-iddina (II) (Merodach-baladan), the king of Karduniaš (Babylonia), (and) took away his rulership. I killed with the sword] all of the Chaldeans, together with the massed body of Elamite troops, [his allies]. |
| Obverse [4:5] 55–55 | [I placed] Aššur-nādin-šumi, my first-born son (whom I) raised on my (own) knee, on [his royal] t[hrone and entrusted him with the wide land of Akkad]. |
| Obverse [5:6] 66–66 | I uprooted all of the Aḫlamû (Arameans) (and) Sutians. I put to the sword the inhabitants of the city [Ḫirimmu, not sparing (any of) their offspring]. I conquered the land of the Yasubigallians, a dangerous enemy. [I ruined] the land El[lipi and destroyed its settlements]. |
| Obverse [6:9] 77–99 | [Moreover, Lulî], the king of the city Sidon, became frightened of doing battle with me, [fled] to Yadna[na (Cyprus), which is in the midst of the sea, and took] refuge (there). In that same land, [he disappeared] on account of the awesome terror of the weapon of the god Aššur, [my lord]. I placed [Tu-Baʾlu on his royal throne] and imposed upon him payment (in recognition) of my overlordship. |
| Obverse [9:10] 1010–1010 | [I ruined the wide district of the recalcitrant (and) strong land Judah] (and) I made Hezekiah, its king, bow down at my feet so that he (now) pulls [my] yok[e]. |
| Obverse [10:11] 1111–1111 | I put to the sword [the men of the city Tumurrum, who live on Mount Nipur, a] rugged [mountain. I destroyed] the city Ukku, together with every one of [its] settle[ments, (so that they looked) like a ruin hill (created by) the Deluge]. |
| Obverse [11:12] 1212–1212 | [At that time, I made] the enemy [people] whom I had captured carry baskets (of earth) and [they] ma[de bricks]. |
| Obverse [12:14] 1313–1414 | [The palace in the citadel of Nineveh], whose extent was [360] cubits on (its) longer side (and) 95 cubits on (its) shorter side, and [whose site was too small; (and) which earlier kings], my ancestors, had had constructed for their lordly dwelling, but [whose construction] they had carri[ed out] in[expertly]: |
| Obverse [14:19] 1515–1919 | They quarried [mountain sheep colossi of white limestone] in the city Tastiate to be their (the palatial halls’) gatekeepers. Throughout all of their lands they depleted [forests of large trees to have boats built]. In the month Ayyāru (II), the time of [spring] f[loods], they brought (the colossi) across to this side (of the river) with difficulty [in magnificent boats. They sank large boats] at the qu[ay dock] (and then) made their crews struggle (and) strain. Wi[th might and main, they struggled to transport (the colossi) and] install (them) in their gates. |
| Obverse [19:20] 2020–2020 | The [Teb]ilti River, a tempest[uous] flood (of water) [which] had flowed [from distant days by the side of the palace] (and) [had sha]ken its base when its flood was in full sp[ate]: |
| Obverse [20:21] 2121–2121 | [I tore down that] s[mall palace i]n [its] en[tirety, (and then)] I chan[ged] the course of the Tebilti River (and) [directed its outflow]. |
| Obverse [21:24] 2222–2424 | [I]n its subterranean waters [I very firmly bond]ed reeds [below (and) bit]umen a[bove] with [large (blocks of) limestone]. I raised a plot of land that was 340 cubits [long (and) 2]89 cubits wide out of the water [and converted (it) to dry land]. I made [the area] larger than before, [added (it)] to the form[er] dimensions of the palace, [and] raised its superstructure [190 courses of brick high]. |
| Obverse [24:27] 2525–2727 | In order to [prevent its] founda[tion from being weakened] over the passage of time by cresting flood(s), I surrounded its base [with large limestone (slabs and thereby)] reinforced its base. I enlarged the structure of the palace to 7[00 large cubits along (its) longer side and 440] large cubits along (its) shorter side and (thus) [I made] its site [bigger]. |
| Obverse [27:29] 2828–2929 | I built a pa[lace of] breccia, alabaster, elephant ivory, ebony, boxwood, musukkannu-wood, cedar, c[ypress, junip]er, (and) elammaku-wood, for my lordly residence; then I had a portico, a replica of a [Hitti]te palace, constructed opposite (its) gates. |
| Obverse [29:31] 3030–3131 | I roofed them (the palatial halls) with beams of cedar (and) cypress, whose scent [is sweet], produ[ct(s) of] Mount Amanus and Mount Sirāra, the holy mountains. |
| Obverse [31:44] 1'1'–13'13' | [...] Near Nineveh, in the territo[ry of the city] Balāṭāya, by divine will, [white] lim[estone] was discovered [i]n abu[nda]nce, and (then) [I created] bull colossi [and (other) statues with li]mbs of alabaster [that are sculpted from a single stone, (whose) proporti]ons are perfect, (and) [who stand high] o[n their own] ped[estals; sphinxes of alabaster] whose features [are exquisite (and) whose bodies shine like a brilliant day; (and) magnificent slabs of breccia. I cut (them) free on both sides from their mountains, and (then), for the construction of my palace, I had (them) dragged into Nineveh]. |
| Obverse [44:47] 14'14'–16'16' | [I had large bull colossi and sphinxes of white limestone created in the terr]itory of the city Balāṭāya [and their forms p]erfected [through the craft of the deity Ninkura]. |
| Obverse [47:52] 17'17'–21'21' | [Since time immemorial, the kings, my ancestors, created copper statues], replicas of [th]eir (own) for[ms], to be erected [in temples], and through their manufacture they had exhaus[ted all of the craftsmen]. Through ignorance (and) failure to give tho[ught on the matter, they depleted] the oil, wax, (and) wo[ol in their lands for the work they desired]. |
| Obverse [52:58] 22'22'–27'27' | (But) as for me, Sennach[erib, the foremost of all rulers, expert in] every type of work, regarding [large] col[umns of copper] (and) strid[ing lion colossi, which none of] the kings of the pa[st (who came) before me had cast: With the ingenious mind] that the prince, the god Ninšiku, had granted to me (and) taking counsel with myself, I intensively pondered how to perform this work. Then, with my (own) ideas and knowledge, I created a cast work of copper and expertly carried out its artful execution. |
| Obverse [58:61] 28'28'–30'30' | By divine will, I created clay mold(s) of tree trunks and date palm(s), the tree of abundance, (of) twelve raging lions, as well as (of) twelve magnificent bull colossi with perfect features (and) twenty-two sphinxes that are coated in allure and charm (and) that have pride (and) exuberance heaped upon them, and I poured copper into it. Just like the cast work of (an object weighing only) a half shekel, I perfected their form(s). |
| Obverse [61:63] 31'31'–32'32' | I made bull colossi with copper features, two of which were overlaid with zaḫalû-silver, (and) bull colossi of alabaster, together with bull colossi and sphinxes of white limestone, hold the door bolts of my palatial halls. |
| Obverse [63:65] 33'33'–34'34' | I fastened bands of copper on magnificent copper columns, as well as on large cedar columns, which are the product of Mount Amanus, and (then) I installed (them) upon lion colossi and positioned cross-beams (upon them) as a cornice for their gates. |
| Obverse [65:68] 35'35'–37'37' | Sphinxes of alabaster, as well as sp[hi]nxes of cast urudû-copper that were overlaid with zaḫalû-silver, and sphinxes of cast ...-metal, whose features were brilliant: I erected over them columns of ebony, cypress, cedar, daprānu-juniper, juniper, and tatīdu-wood, with pašallu-gold and [sil]ver inlays, and (then) I positioned the architraves of the inner rooms of my lordly residence (on those columns). |
| Obverse [68:69] 38'38'–38'38' | I surrounded their (the palace rooms’) lower courses with slabs of breccia (and) alabaster, and large limestone slabs (and) made (them) an object of wonder. |
| Obverse [69:71] 39'39'–40'40' | In order to be able to draw water by bucket every day, I had bronze wire chains and bronze cables made and, instead of poles, I had tree trunks and date palm(s) placed over wells. |
| Obverse [71:72] 41'41'–41'41' | I made those palatial halls [be]aut[iful]. To be [an object of wonder for all of the people], I raised the superstructure of [the en]tire palace. [I called] it the “Palace With[o]ut a R[iv]al.” |
| Obverse [72:73] 42'42'–42'42' | [I pl]anted alongside it (the palace) [a botanical garden, a replica of Mount Amanus, which has all kinds of] aromatic plants (and) fruit trees, trees [that are the main]stay of the mountains [and] Chaldea, collected [ins]ide it. |
| Obverse [73:76] 43'43'–45'45' | To make (those) pl[an]ted ar[eas] luxuriant, I cut with iron picks a can[al] straight through [a mount]ain, from the border of the city Kisiri to [the plain of] Nineveh. I caused an inexhaustible supply of water to flow there for a distance of one and a half leagues from the Ḫusur River (and) [made (it) gu]sh through feeder ca[nals] into those planted areas. |
| Obverse [76:80] 46'46'–49'49' | I created a marsh [to moderate the flow of water for (those) gardens] and [pla]nted a canebrake in [it]. I let loose in it [herons, wi]ld boars (lit. “pigs of the reeds”), (and) roe [deer]. By [divine] will, [vines and all kinds of fruit trees, olive trees, (and) aromatic trees] flourished greatly in (those) gardens. Cypress trees, musukkannu-trees, (and) all kinds of trees [gre]w tall and s[ent out shoots. The marshes] thrived [greatly. Birds of the heavens, heron(s), made nest(s) and wild boars (and) roe d[eer] ga[ve birth in abundance]. |
| Obverse [80:82] 50'50'–51'51' | I cut down [musukkannu-trees] (and) cypress trees grown in the orc[ha]rds (and) marsh reeds from the sw[am]ps and I used (them) in the work requi[red (to build) my lordly palatial halls]. |
| Obverse [82:85] 52'52'–54'54' | After I had finished [the wo]rk on my palace, I invited inside it (the god) Aššur, the great lord, (and) the gods and goddesses [living in Assyria], and (then) I made splendid offe[ring]s and presented my gift(s). [I made fine] oil from olives and [aromatics]. At the inaugurat[ion of] the palace, I had the heads [of] the subjects of my land drenched (and) I watered [their] insides with sweet wine. |
| Obverse [85:87] 55'55'–56'56' | [By] the command of [(the god) Aš]šur, father of the gods, and the goddess Ištar, the queen, may the good šēdu (and) the good lamassu last forever and ever in [th]at pa[lace]. May they never leave it. |
