2 Kings 19:31–37

³¹For from Jerusalem goeth out a remnant, And an escape from mount Zion; The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts doth this. ³²Therefore, thus said Jehovah, Concerning the king of Asshur: He doth not come in unto this city, Nor doth he shoot there an arrow, Nor doth he come before it with shield. Nor doth he pour out against it a mount. ³³In the way that he cometh in—In it he turneth back, And unto this city he doth not come in, The affirmation of Jehovah— ³⁴And I have covered over this city, To save it, for Mine own sake, And for the sake of David My servant.’

³⁵And it cometh to pass, in that night, that a messenger of Jehovah goeth out, and smiteth in the camp of Asshur a hundred eighty and five thousand, and they rise early in the morning, and lo, all of them are dead corpses. ³⁶And Sennacherib king of Asshur journeyeth, and goeth, and turneth back, and dwelleth in Nineveh; ³⁷and it cometh to pass, he is bowing himself in the house of Nisroch his god, and Adramelech and Sharezar his sons have smitten him with the sword, and they have escaped to the land of Ararat, and Esar-Haddon his son reigneth in his stead.
