Think of how you supply water to a 185,000 man army in a semi-arid region which could support at most a population of 10,000?
Then remember that armies have to eat, too.
Do you have evidence that it was semi-arid at the time of the chronicle?? or are you guesstimating based on what the region looks like now?
Petra 2000 years ago was a lush city that had exotic gardens, but now it is a completely arid waste land that can not support any life.
Perhaps leading to the city of Jerusalem that the Assyrians made their base camp there was, I don't know... maybe an Aqueduct feeding the city... Kinda a common thing for cities.. fresh water.. Especially if the city wasn't built on a river or lake, they piped in water even in those days...
And, Maybe just Maybe if you look at 2 Kings 18 verse 17 you would have seen this very thing, before you open your big mouth to allow me to help you put your FOOT in there...
Who says 'logistics' is not apart of what we do? Oh, that's right the feeble minded who want to make sweeping dismissals rather than have a topical discussion. Meh, I can still force a topical discussion even if it means making you look like an uninformed fool.
