Rezeph

Rezeph was an Assyrian-controlled town cited by Sennacherib's field commander as proof of Assyrian military might, one of the places its gods could not save (2 Kings 19:12; Isaiah 37:12). It is usually identified with Rasappa, a city on the middle Euphrates that Assyrian records name as the seat of its own provincial governor from the ninth century BC onward, confirming the biblical picture of a well-established administrative center under Assyrian control.
