Sennacherib’s Defeat and Death^(A)

³⁵ And ^(B)it came to pass on a certain night that the ^[a]angel of the Lord went out, and killed in the camp of the Assyrians one hundred and eighty-five thousand; and when people arose early in the morning, there were the corpses—all dead. ³⁶ So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed and went away, returned home, and remained at ^(C)Nineveh. ³⁷ Now it came to pass, as he was worshiping in the temple of Nisroch his god, that his sons ^(D)Adrammelech and Sharezer ^(E)struck him down with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Then ^(F)Esarhaddon his son reigned in his place.

^21 (A)Then the Lord sent an angel who cut down every mighty man of valor, leader, and captain in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned ^(B)shamefaced to his own land. And when he had gone into the temple of his god, some of his own offspring struck him down with the sword there.

^4 (A)I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and ^(B)lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, ^(C)all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords.
