2 Kings 19:35-37 - An Angel Neutralizes The Assyrian Army

35 That very night, the angel of the LORD went out to the camp of the Assyrian army and killed 185,000 men. Early the next morning, when the army of Israel arose, all 185,000 soldiers were dead. 36 As a result, King Sennacherib of Assyria left and returned to Nineveh where he lived.

37 Later on, as he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, Adrammelech and Sharezer killed him with a sword and fled into the territory of Ararat. Then Sennacherib's son Esarhaddon became king in his place.
