Isaiah 37:36-38 - Sennacherib's Defeat

36 After this, the angel of the LORD went out and put to death 185,000 men in the Assyrian camp. When Hezekiah's army awakened in the morning there were all the dead bodies! 37 King Sennacherib broke camp, retreated, returned home to Nineveh, and remained there.

38 Later, while he was worshiping in the house of his god Nisroch, his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer cut him down with swords and escaped to the land of Ararat. Then Sennacherib's son Esar-haddon reigned in his place.
