32 Therefore thus says Adonai concerning the king of Assyria: “He will not come to this city, or shoot an arrow there, or come before it with a shield, or throw up a siege-ramp against it.
33 By the way that he came, by the same he will return, and he will not come into this city” —it is a declaration of Adonai.
34 “For I will defend this city to save it, for My own sake, and for My servant David’s sake.”
35 Then it came about that night that the angel of Adonai went out and struck down 185,000 men in the Assyrian camp. When the men arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
36 So King Sennacherib of Assyria withdrew, went away, and returned home, and stayed in Nineveh.
37 One day, as he was worshipping in the house of his god Nisroch, his sons Adrammelech and Sarezer struck him down with the sword, and escaped to the land of Ararat. Then his son Esarhaddon became king in his place.
