From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Esarhaddon
      Assur has given a brother, successor of Sennacherib (2 Kings
      19:37; Isa. 37:38). He ascended the throne about B.C. 681.
      Nothing further is recorded of him in Scripture, except that he
      settled certain colonists in Samaria (Ezra 4:2). But from the
      monuments it appears that he was the most powerful of all the
      Assyrian monarchs. He built many temples and palaces, the most
      magnificent of which was the south-west palace at Nimrud, which
      is said to have been in its general design almost the same as
      Solomon's palace, only much larger (1 Kings 7:1-12).
     
         In December B.C. 681 Sennacherib was murdered by two of his
      sons, who, after holding Nineveh for forty-two days, were
      compelled to fly to Erimenas of Ararat, or Armenia. Their
      brother Esarhaddon, who had been engaged in a campaign against
      Armenia, led his army against them. They were utterly overthrown
      in a battle fought April B.C. 680, near Malatiyeh, and in the
      following month Esarhaddon was crowned at Nineveh. He restored
      Babylon, conquered Egypt, and received tribute from Manasseh of
      Judah. He died in October B.C. 668, while on the march to
      suppress an Egyptian revolt, and was succeeded by his son
      Assur-bani-pal, whose younger brother was made viceroy of
      Babylonia.
