33. Therefore, thus said Jehovah, Concerning the king of Asshur: He doth not come in unto this city, Nor doth he shoot there an arrow, Nor doth he come before it [with] shield, Nor doth he pour out against it a mount.
34. In the way that he came, in it he turneth back, And unto this city he doth not come in, An affirmation of Jehovah,
35. And I have covered over this city, To save it, for Mine own sake, And for the sake of David My servant.'
36. And a messenger of Jehovah goeth out, and smiteth in the camp of Asshur a hundred and eighty and five thousand; and [men] rise early in the morning, and lo, all of them [are] dead corpses.
37. And journey, and go, and turn back doth Sennacherib king of Asshur, and dwelleth in Nineveh.
38. And it cometh to pass, he is bowing himself in the house of Nisroch his god, and Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons have smitten him with the sword, and they have escaped to the land of Ararat, and Esar-Haddon his son reigneth in his stead.
