Yahweh Wipes Out the Men of Assyria

20 But King Hezekiah and Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, prayed about this and cried out to heaven. 21 And Yahweh sent an angel who wiped out every mighty man of valor, ruler, and commander in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned [a]in shame to his own land. And he entered the house of his god, and some of [b]his own children caused him to fall there by the sword. 22 So Yahweh (A)saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria and from the hand of all others, and He [c]guided them on every side. 23 And (B)many were bringing presents to Yahweh at Jerusalem and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah, so that (C)he was lifted up in the sight of all nations thereafter.
