Battle of Jerusalem

The Battle of Jerusalem was a decisive battle in the Hebrew Rebellion during the Great Powers' War. It resulted in the start of the downfall of the Kingdom of Yahweh and the death of its leader Zeror. 
The Hebrew Rebellion and the rise of the Kingdom of Yahweh, led by the monotheist priest Zeror, was mostly funded by Hatti, which hoped to disrupt Egyptian supply lines and bog down their troops to make the conquest of the Levant easier. The rebellion spread throughout Canaan and most of the region was lost to it, except the coastal areas. 
The Egyptians did not want to send their own forces there, as it was still officially their territory, and so make the people resist them even more, thus they hired the nearby Edomites to deal with the rebellion, while also hiring the Moabites to attack the Arameans who had been delivering Hittites weapons to the Hebrews. The Edomites defeated the Hebrews in some small battles, but their main victory came at Jerusalem, where the main Edomite army, led by its king Husham, annihilated the Hebrew forces and killed the leader Zeror. They also sacked the city, looted it, and took the remaining population of it, those who had not escaped yet, into slavery. This marked a turning point in the rebellion, as most other rebels surrendered and Canaan was retaken by Egyptian forces.
