“And this is what the LORD says about the king of Assyria:
“His armies will not enter Jerusalem.
They will not even shoot an arrow at it.
They will not march outside its gates with their shields
nor build banks of earth against its walls.
The king will return to his own country
by the same road on which he came.
He will not enter this city,
says the LORD.
For my own honor and for the sake of my servant David,
I will defend this city and protect it.”
That night the angel of the LORD went out to the Assyrian camp and killed
185,000 Assyrian soldiers. When the surviving Assyrians* woke up the next
morning, they found corpses everywhere. 36 Then King Sennacherib of Assyria
broke camp and returned to his own land. He went home to his capital of Nineveh and stayed there.

One day while he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, his sons*
Adrammelech and Sharezer killed him with their swords. They then escaped to
the land of Ararat, and another son, Esarhaddon, became the next king of Assyria.

Isaiah 37:21-38
Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent this message to Hezekiah: “ This is what the
LORD, the God of Israel, says: Because you prayed about King Sennacherib of Assyria, 22 the LORD has spoken this word against him:
21
“ The virgin daughter of Zion
despises you and laughs at you.
The daughter of Jerusalem
shakes her head in derision as you flee.

“Whom have you been defying and ridiculing?
Against whom did you raise your voice?
At whom did you look with such haughty eyes?
It was the Holy One of Israel!
By your messengers you have defied the Lord.
You have said, ‘With my many chariots
I have conquered the highest mountains—
yes, the remotest peaks of Lebanon.
I have cut down its tallest cedars
and its finest cypress trees.
I have reached its farthest heights
and explored its deepest forests.
I have dug wells in many foreign lands*
