Lexham English Bible

³² “‘Therefore thus says Yahweh to the king of Assyria, “He shall not come to this city, nor shall he shoot an arrow there, nor shall he bring a small shield near her, nor shall he cast a siege ramp against her. ³³ By the way that he came to her he shall return; but to this city, he shall not come,” declares Yahweh. ³⁴ And I will defend this city to save her for my sake and for the sake of David my servant.’”

All of them were dead corpses. ³⁶ Then Sennacherib king of Assyria set out and went and returned and lived in Nineveh.
