Isaiah 37:36-38

Common English Bible

³⁶ The Lord’s messenger went out and struck down one hundred eighty-five thousand soldiers in the Assyrian camp. When people got up the next morning, there were dead bodies everywhere. ³⁷ So Assyria’s King Sennacherib left and went back to Nineveh, where he stayed. ³⁸ Later, while he was worshipping in the temple of his god Nisroch, his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer killed him with a sword. Then they escaped to the land of Ararat. His son Esarhaddon ruled after him.
