Defeat and Death of Sennacherib

³⁵ That night the angel of the Lord went out and struck down one hundred eighty-five thousand in the camp of the Assyrians. When the people got up the next morning—there were all the dead bodies!^{(A) 36} So King Sennacherib of Assyria broke camp and left. He returned home and lived in Nineveh.^(B)

³⁷ One day, while he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, his sons Adrammelech^(C) and Sharezer struck him down with the sword and escaped to the land of Ararat.^(D) Then his son Esar-haddon^(E) became king in his place.
