2 Kings 19:31–37

³¹‘For out of Jerusalem will go forth a remnant, and ^aout of Mount Zion ¹survivors. ^bThe zeal of ²Yahweh will do this.

³²‘Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning the king of Assyria, “^aHe will not come to this city or shoot an arrow there; and he will not come before it with a shield or throw up a siege ramp against it.

³³“^aBy the way that he came, by the same he will return, and he shall not come to this city,” ’ declares Yahweh.

³⁴‘^aIndeed I will defend this city to save it for My own sake and ^bfor My servant David’s sake.’”

^35aNow it happened that night, that the angel of Yahweh went out and struck 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians. And the ¹men arose early in the morning, and behold, all of ²them were dead bodies.

³⁶So ^aSennacherib king of Assyria set out and went away and returned home and lived at ^bNineveh.

³⁷Now it happened that as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, ^1aAdrammelech and Sharezer struck him down with the sword; and they escaped into ^bthe land of Ararat. And ^cEsarhaddon his son became king in his place.
