The Assyrian Empire never captured Jerusalem; King Hezekiah of Judah was able to defend the city. This was an anomaly since most parts of Judah, including the #2 city of Lachish, were razed to the ground. The Bible credits Hezekiah's success to a Divine plague which decimated the Assyrian troops gathered outside of Jerusalem. King Sennacherib of Assyria's own documents argue that Jerusalem was allowed to be independent in order to taunt Hezekiah and force him to pay Sennacherib an exorbitant tribute. The Assyrian description makes far less sense since the Assyrians believed in expansionist foreign policy instead of simply reinstating enemy city states.
If you want the name of the Assyrian Leader who led the assault on Jerusalem and the rest of the Kingdom of Judah, that was KING SENNACHERIB.
