2 Chronicles 32:20-23
Modern English Version
The Death of Sennacherib
20 So Hezekiah the king and Isaiah the prophet son of Amoz prayed concerning this. And they called out to heaven. 21 So the Lord sent an angel and destroyed the mighty army, leaders, and officials in the camp of the king of Assyria. So the king returned in shame to his own land. When he entered the temple of his god, some of his sons fell on him there with the sword.
22 So the Lord saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib king of Assyria, and from the hand of all others, and gave them rest on every side. 23 Many brought tribute to the Lord in Jerusalem and choice gifts to Hezekiah king of Judah so that he was lifted up before the eyes of all the nations from then on.

New King James Version
Sennacherib’s Defeat and Death(A)
20 (B)Now because of this King Hezekiah and (C)the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz, prayed and cried out to heaven. 21 (D)Then the Lord sent an angel who cut down every mighty man of valor, leader, and captain in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned (E)shamefaced to his own land. And when he had gone into the temple of his god, some of his own offspring struck him down with the sword there.
22 Thus the Lord saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all others, and [a]guided them on every side. 23 And many brought gifts to the Lord at Jerusalem, and (F)presents[b] to Hezekiah king of Judah, so that he was (G)exalted in the sight of all nations thereafter.
