Lachish, Lachish
This town was first mentioned in the Amarna letters as Lakisha-Lakia (EA 287, 288, 328, 329, 335). The Israelites captured and destroyed Lachish for joining the league against the Gibeonites (Josh. 10:31-33), but the territory was later assigned to the tribe of Judah (15:39).
In order to lay siege to Jerusalem an invading army would first have to take Lachish, which guarded the mountain pass.
