Holman Christian Standard Bible

Defeat and Death of Sennacherib

³⁶ Then^(A) the angel of the Lord^(B) went out and struck down 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians. When the people got up the next morning—there were all the dead bodies! ³⁷ So Sennacherib king of Assyria broke camp and left. He returned home and lived in Nineveh.^(C)

³⁸ One day, while he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him down with the sword and escaped to the land of Ararat.^(D) Then his son Esar-haddon^(E) became king in his place.
