Synchronous Digital Hierarchy          (SDH) An international digital       telecommunications network hierarchy which standardises       transmission around the bit rate of 51.84 megabits per second,       which is also called STS-1.   Multiples of this bit rate       comprise higher bit rate streams.   Thus STS-3 is 3 times       STS-1, STS-12 is 12 times STS-1, and so on.   STS-3 is the       lowest bit rate expected to carry {ATM} traffic, and is also       referred to as STM-1 (Synchronous Transport Module-Level 1).          The SDH specifies how payload data is framed and transported       synchronously across {optical fibre} transmission links without       requiring all the links and nodes to have the same       synchronized clock for data transmission and recovery       (i.e. both the clock frequency and phase are allowed to have       variations, or be {plesiochronous}).          SDH offers several advantages over the current {multiplexing}       technology, which is known as {Plesiochronous Digital       Hierarchy}.   Where PDH lacks built-in facilities for automatic       management and routing, and locks users into proprietary       methods, SDH can improve network reliability and performance,       offers much greater flexibility and lower operating and       maintenance costs, and provides for a faster provision of new       services.          Under SDH, incoming traffic is synchronized and enhanced with       {network management} bits before being multiplexed into the       STM-1 fixed rate {frame}.          The fundamental clock frequency around which the SDH or       {SONET} framing is done is 8 KHz or 125 microseconds.          SONET ({Synchronous Optical Network}) is the American version       of SDH.          (1995-03-02)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Sennacherib       Sin (the god) sends many brothers, son of Sargon, whom he       succeeded on the throne of Assyria (B.C. 705), in the 23rd year       of Hezekiah. "Like the Persian Xerxes, he was weak and       vainglorious, cowardly under reverse, and cruel and boastful in       success." He first set himself to break up the powerful       combination of princes who were in league against him. Among       these was Hezekiah, who had entered into an alliance with Egypt       against Assyria. He accordingly led a very powerful army of at       least 200,000 men into Judea, and devastated the land on every       side, taking and destroying many cities (2 Kings 18:13-16; comp.       Isa. 22, 24, 29, and 2 Chr. 32:1-8). His own account of this       invasion, as given in the Assyrian annals, is in these words:       "Because Hezekiah, king of Judah, would not submit to my yoke, I       came up against him, and by force of arms and by the might of my       power I took forty-six of his strong fenced cities; and of the       smaller towns which were scattered about, I took and plundered a       countless number. From these places I took and carried off       200,156 persons, old and young, male and female, together with       horses and mules, asses and camels, oxen and sheep, a countless       multitude; and Hezekiah himself I shut up in Jerusalem, his       capital city, like a bird in a cage, building towers round the       city to hem him in, and raising banks of earth against the       gates, so as to prevent escape...Then upon Hezekiah there fell       the fear of the power of my arms, and he sent out to me the       chiefs and the elders of Jerusalem with 30 talents of gold and       800 talents of silver, and divers treasures, a rich and immense       booty...All these things were brought to me at Nineveh, the seat       of my government." (Comp. Isa. 22:1-13 for description of the       feelings of the inhabitants of Jerusalem at such a crisis.)                Hezekiah was not disposed to become an Assyrian feudatory. He       accordingly at once sought help from Egypt (2 Kings 18:20-24).       Sennacherib, hearing of this, marched a second time into       Palestine (2 Kings 18:17, 37; 19; 2 Chr. 32:9-23; Isa. 36:2-22.       Isa. 37:25 should be rendered "dried up all the Nile-arms of       Matsor," i.e., of Egypt, so called from the "Matsor" or great       fortification across the isthmus of Suez, which protected it       from invasions from the east). Sennacherib sent envoys to try to       persuade Hezekiah to surrender, but in vain. (See {TIRHAKAH}.) He next sent a threatening letter (2 Kings       19:10-14), which Hezekiah carried into the temple and spread       before the Lord. Isaiah again brought an encouraging message to       the pious king (2 Kings 19:20-34). "In that night" the angel of       the Lord went forth and smote the camp of the Assyrians. In the       morning, "behold, they were all dead corpses." The Assyrian army       was annihilated.                This great disaster is not, as was to be expected, taken       notice of in the Assyrian annals.                Though Sennacherib survived this disaster some twenty years,       he never again renewed his attempt against Jerusalem. He was       murdered by two of his own sons (Adrammelech and Sharezer), and       was succeeded by another son, Esarhaddon (B.C. 681), after a       reign of twenty-four years.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Shamgar       The Philistines from the maritime plain had made incursions into       the Hebrew upland for the purposes of plunder, when one of this       name, the son of Anath, otherwise unknown, headed a rising for       the purpose of freeing the land from this oppression. He       repelled the invasion, slaying 600 men with an "ox goad" (q.v.).       The goad was a formidable sharpointed instrument, sometimes ten       feet long. He was probably contemporary for a time with Deborah       and Barak (Judg. 3:31; 5:6).
