He is known for his military campaigns and the expansion of the Assyrian Empire. Sargon is mentioned in the Bible in Isaiah 20:1, which states, "In the year that the chief commander, sent by Sargon king of Assyria, came to Ashdod and attacked and captured it."

His rule was marked by efforts to consolidate Assyrian power and influence across the Near East.
