2 Kings 19:31–37

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

³²‘Therefore thus says the Lord 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 the Lord.

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

^35aThen it happened that night that the angel of the Lord went out and struck 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians; and when ¹men rose early in the morning, behold, all of them were ²dead.

³⁶So ^aSennacherib king of Assyria departed and returned home, and lived at ^bNineveh.

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