Shabataka (sometimes written as Shebitqa or Shebitko)

His policy against the Assyrians was much more aggressive than that of his predecessors. He headed the army which set out to support a threatened Jerusalem. In 701 BC the anti-Assyrian coalition was defeated though by Sanherib at Eltekeh in contemporary Palestine. Hezekiah of Judah surrendered at this time to Assyria and paid heavy tribute to avoid ravage of Jerusalem. The Old Testament suggests that a plague in the Assyrian army saved both Egyptians and Hebrews from complete defeat. Herodotus on the other hand says that the retreat of the Assyrians was due to swarms of mice who ate up their weaponries. The building activities of Shabataka were most pronounced at Thebes (a chapel by the Holy Lake at Karnak and reliefs at Luxor) but he also raised several monuments in Memphis and Kawa.

Donation stela of Shabataqa (Shebitqo)
"This donation stele, like that of Shabaqo (55.144.6), shows the king making a donation on behalf of a local ruler of the eastern Delta. The text is lost but the top half of the stele shows the king offering to the god Horus and the goddess Hathor."
