Usage: Lachish is a city mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, known for its strategic military significance and its role in various biblical narratives. It is often associated with strength and fortification.

Cultural and Historical Background: Lachish was an ancient city located in the Shephelah region of Judah, southwest of Jerusalem. It was a significant Canaanite and later Israelite city, known for its strong fortifications. Archaeological excavations have revealed that Lachish was a major administrative center during the reign of the Judean kings. The city is notably mentioned in the context of the Assyrian invasion led by King Sennacherib in the late 8th century BCE, where it was besieged and captured. The famous Lachish Reliefs, discovered in Nineveh, depict this siege and highlight the city's importance.
