In 722 BCE in Israel, Babylon attacked and conquered the region over three months of war. This forced Joshua, Sion, and Moab - three friends living in Israel - into servitude, making mud bricks for 16 hours each day with only 7 hours to sleep. After three years of these conditions and many deaths, the three friends led an uprising where they stole swords at 4 am and killed the Babylonians, liberating Israel from slavery and allowing the people to live happily again.
