In 701BC, the Assyrian army attacked the Jewish settlements destroying everything in their path, but when they arrived--over twenty thousand strong--at one of the last outposts of Judaism, victory at hand, already surrounding the walls of the city and asking the government to surrender, suddenly they gathered all of their things and went into a great retreat.
Why?
The Nubians (then known as the Kush--African rulers who now controlled Egypt) attacked and the Assyrians could not run fast enough.
Thus an alliance between the Nubians and the Jews stopped the extermination of one religion which, as time went by, was instrumental in developing the other two modern day religions: Christianity and Islam.
