2 Kings 19:29-37

New American Standard Bible

²⁹‘Then this shall be ^(A)the sign for you: ^[a]you will eat this year what grows of itself, in the second year what grows by itself, and in the third year sow, harvest, plant vineyards, and eat their fruit. ³⁰^(B)The survivors that are left of the house of Judah will again take root downward and bear fruit upward. ³¹For out of Jerusalem will go a remnant, and survivors ^(C)out of Mount Zion. ^(D)The zeal of ^[b]the Lord will perform this.

³²‘Therefore this is what the Lord says about the king of Assyria: “^(E)He will not come to this city nor shoot an arrow there; and he will not come before it with a shield nor heap up an assault ramp against it. ³³^(F)By the way that he came, by ^[c]the same he will return, and he shall not come to this city,”’ declares the Lord. ³⁴‘^(G)For I will protect this city to save it for My own sake, and ^(H)for My servant David’s sake.’”

³⁵^(I)Then it happened that night that the angel of the Lord went out and struck 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians; and when the rest got up early in the morning, behold, all of ^[d]the 185,000 were ^[e]dead. ³⁶So ^(J)Sennacherib the king of Assyria departed and ^[f]returned home, and lived at ^(K)Nineveh. ³⁷Then it came about, as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, that ^[g]^(L)Adrammelech and Sharezer killed him with the sword; and they escaped to ^(M)the land of Ararat. And his son ^(N)Esarhaddon became king in his place.
