34. He will return on the road by which he arrived. And into this city, he will not enter, says the Lord.
35. And I will protect this city, so that I may save it for my own sake, and for the sake of David, my servant."
36. Then the Angel of the Lord went forth and struck down, in the camp of the Assyrians, one hundred eighty-five thousand. And they arose in the morning, and behold, all these were dead bodies.
37. And Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians, departed and went away. And he returned and lived at Nineveh.
38. And it happened that, as he was adoring his god in the temple of Nisroch, his sons, Adramelech and Sharezer, struck him with the sword. And they fled into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon, his son, reigned in his place.
