Assyrians Destroyed

36 Then the (A)angel of the Lord went out and struck 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians; and when (a)men arose early in the morning, behold, all of these were (b)dead. 37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed and (c)returned home and lived at (B)Nineveh. 38 It came about as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons killed him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of (C)Ararat. And (D)Esarhaddon his son became king in his place.
