What is "Yegi'a Egypt u'Schar Kush"?

Rashi: I informed you how I will save My children from Bavel. This is why I aroused Koresh! I will inform you also of the salvation from Sancheriv in the days of Chizkiyah. He will return to Yerushalayim from (after defeating) Tirhakah Melech Kush. He will come to Yerushalayim with all the coveted treasuries of Kush and Egypt, who will go to help Kush. He will come with the booty and fall in Yerushalayim. Chizkiyah and his nation will take all the spoils. So it says in Seder Olam 23, that this refers to Sancheriv.
