Isaiah 37
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
Hezekiah Consults Isaiah
37 When King Hezekiah heard it, he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the Lord. 2 And he sent Eliakim, who was in charge of the palace, and Shebna the secretary, and the senior priests, covered with sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz. 3 They said to him, “Thus says Hezekiah, This day is a day of distress, of rebuke, and of disgrace; children have come to the birth, and there is no strength to bring them forth. 4 It may be that the Lord your God heard the words of the Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to mock the living God, and will rebuke the words that the Lord your God has heard; therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.”
5 When the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah, 6 Isaiah said to them, “Say to your master, ‘Thus says the Lord: Do not be afraid because of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have reviled me. 7 I myself will put a spirit in him, so that he shall hear a rumor, and return to his own land; I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.’”
8 The Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria fighting against Libnah; for he had heard that the king had left Lachish. 9 Now the king[a] heard concerning King Tirhakah of Ethiopia,[b] “He has set out to fight against you.” When he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying, 10 “Thus shall you speak to King Hezekiah of Judah: Do not let your God on whom you rely deceive you by promising that Jerusalem will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria. 11 See, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, destroying them utterly. Shall you be delivered? 12 Have the gods of the nations delivered them, the nations that my predecessors destroyed, Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the people of Eden who were in Telassar? 13 Where is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, the king of the city of Sepharvaim, the king of Hena, or the king of Ivvah?”
Hezekiah’s Prayer
14 Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it; then Hezekiah went up to the house of the Lord and spread it before the Lord. 15 And Hezekiah prayed to the Lord, saying: 16 “O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, who are enthroned above the cherubim, you are God, you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth. 17 Incline your ear, O Lord, and hear; open your eyes, O Lord, and see; hear all the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to mock the living God. 18 Truly, O Lord, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations and their lands, 19 and have hurled their gods into the fire, though they were no gods, but the work of human hands—wood and stone—and so they were destroyed. 20 So now, O Lord our God, save us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you alone are the Lord.”
21 Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Because you have prayed to me concerning King Sennacherib of Assyria, 22 this is the word that the Lord has spoken concerning him:
She despises you, she scorns you—
virgin daughter Zion;
she tosses her head—behind your back,
daughter Jerusalem.
23 “Whom have you mocked and reviled?
Against whom have you raised your voice
and haughtily lifted your eyes?
Against the Holy One of Israel!
24 By your servants you have mocked the Lord,
and you have said, ‘With my many chariots
I have gone up the heights of the mountains,
to the far recesses of Lebanon;
I felled its tallest cedars,
its choicest cypresses;
I came to its remotest height,
its densest forest.
25 I dug wells
and drank waters,
I dried up with the sole of my foot
all the streams of Egypt.’
26 “Have you not heard
that I determined it long ago?
I planned from days of old
what now I bring to pass,
that you should make fortified cities
crash into heaps of ruins,
27 while their inhabitants, shorn of strength,
are dismayed and confounded;
they have become like plants of the field
and like tender grass,
like grass on the housetops,
blighted[c] before it is grown.
28 “I know your rising up[d] and your sitting down,
your going out and coming in,
and your raging against me.
29 Because you have raged against me
and your arrogance has come to my ears,
I will put my hook in your nose
and my bit in your mouth;
I will turn you back on the way
by which you came.
30 “And this shall be the sign for you: This year eat what grows of itself, and in the second year what springs from that; then in the third year sow, reap, plant vineyards, and eat their fruit. 31 The surviving remnant of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward; 32 for from Jerusalem a remnant shall go out, and from Mount Zion a band of survivors. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.
33 “Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not come into this city, shoot an arrow there, come before it with a shield, or cast up a siege ramp against it. 34 By the way that he came, by the same he shall return; he shall not come into this city, says the Lord. 35 For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake and for the sake of my servant David.”
Sennacherib’s Defeat and Death
36 Then the angel of the Lord set out and struck down one hundred eighty-five thousand in the camp of the Assyrians; when morning dawned, they were all dead bodies. 37 Then King Sennacherib of Assyria left, went home, and lived at Nineveh. 38 As he was worshiping in the house of his god Nisroch, his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer killed him with the sword, and they escaped into the land of Ararat. His son Esar-haddon succeeded him.

New King James Version
Isaiah Assures Deliverance(A)
37 And (B)so it was, when King Hezekiah heard it, that he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the Lord. 2 Then he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz. 3 And they said to him, “Thus says Hezekiah: ‘This day is a day of (C)trouble and rebuke and [a]blasphemy; for the children have come to birth, but there is no strength to bring them forth. 4 It may be that the Lord your God will hear the words of the Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to (D)reproach the living God, and will rebuke the words which the Lord your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.’ ”
5 So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah. 6 And Isaiah said to them, “Thus you shall say to your master, ‘Thus says the Lord: “Do not be afraid of the words which you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me. 7 Surely I will send a spirit upon him, and he shall hear a rumor and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.” ’ ”
Sennacherib’s Threat and Hezekiah’s Prayer(E)
8 Then the Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he heard that he had departed from Lachish. 9 And the king heard concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, “He has come out to make war with you.” So when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying, 10 “Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying: ‘Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, “Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.” 11 Look! You have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by utterly destroying them; and shall you be delivered? 12 Have the (F)gods of the nations delivered those whom my fathers have destroyed, Gozan and Haran and Rezeph, and the people of Eden who were in Telassar? 13 Where is the king of (G)Hamath, the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?’ ”
14 And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up to the house of the Lord, and spread it before the Lord. 15 Then Hezekiah prayed to the Lord, saying: 16 “O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, the One who dwells between the cherubim, You are God, You (H)alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth. 17 (I)Incline Your ear, O Lord, and hear; open Your eyes, O Lord, and see; and (J)hear all the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to reproach the living God. 18 Truly, Lord, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations and their (K)lands, 19 and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were (L)not gods, but the work of men’s hands—wood and stone. Therefore they destroyed them. 20 Now therefore, O Lord our God, (M)save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may (N)know that You are the Lord, You alone.”
The Word of the Lord Concerning Sennacherib(O)
21 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel, ‘Because you have prayed to Me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, 22 this is the word which the Lord has spoken concerning him:
“The virgin, the daughter of Zion,
Has despised you, laughed you to scorn;
The daughter of Jerusalem
Has shaken her head behind your back!
23 “Whom have you reproached and blasphemed?
Against whom have you raised your voice,
And lifted up your eyes on high?
Against the Holy One of Israel.
24 By your servants you have reproached the Lord,
And said, ‘By the multitude of my chariots
I have come up to the height of the mountains,
To the limits of Lebanon;
I will cut down its tall cedars
And its choice cypress trees;
I will enter its farthest height,
To its fruitful forest.
25 I have dug and drunk water,
And with the soles of my feet I have dried up
All the brooks of [b]defense.’
26 “Did you not hear (P)long ago
How I made it,
From ancient times that I formed it?
Now I have brought it to pass,
That you should be
For crushing fortified cities into heaps of ruins.
27 Therefore their inhabitants had little power;
They were dismayed and confounded;
They were as the grass of the field
And the green herb,
As the grass on the housetops
And grain blighted before it is grown.
28 “But I know your dwelling place,
Your going out and your coming in,
And your rage against Me.
29 Because your rage against Me and your tumult
Have come up to My ears,
Therefore (Q)I will put My hook in your nose
And My bridle in your lips,
And I will (R)turn you back
By the way which you came.” ’
30 “This shall be a sign to you:
You shall eat this year such as grows of itself,
And the second year what springs from the same;
Also in the third year sow and reap,
Plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them.
31 And the remnant who have escaped of the house of Judah
Shall again take root downward,
And bear fruit upward.
32 For out of Jerusalem shall go a remnant,
And those who escape from Mount Zion.
The (S)zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.
33 “Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the king of Assyria:
‘He shall not come into this city,
Nor shoot an arrow there,
Nor come before it with shield,
Nor build a siege mound against it.
34 By the way that he came,
By the same shall he return;
And he shall not come into this city,’
Says the Lord.
35 ‘For I will (T)defend this city, to save it
For My own sake and for My servant (U)David’s sake.’ ”
Sennacherib’s Defeat and Death(V)
36 Then the (W)angel[c] of the Lord went out, and [d]killed in the camp of the Assyrians one hundred and eighty-five thousand; and when people arose early in the morning, there were the corpses—all dead. 37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed and went away, returned home, and remained at Nineveh. 38 Now it came to pass, as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, that his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him down with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Then (X)Esarhaddon his son reigned in his place.

Isaia 37
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
37 Când a auzit împăratul(A) Ezechia cuvintele acestea, şi-a sfâşiat hainele, s-a acoperit cu un sac şi s-a dus în Casa Domnului. 2 A trimis pe Eliachim, căpetenia casei împăratului, pe Şebna, logofătul, şi pe cei mai bătrâni dintre preoţi, acoperiţi cu saci, la prorocul Isaia, fiul lui Amoţ. 3 Şi i-au zis: „Aşa vorbeşte Ezechia: ‘Ziua aceasta este o zi de necaz, de pedeapsă şi de ocară, căci copiii sunt aproape să iasă din pântecele mamei lor, şi totuşi mamele n-au putere să nască. 4 Poate că Domnul Dumnezeul tău a auzit cuvintele lui Rabşache, pe care l-a trimis împăratul Asiriei, stăpânul său, să batjocorească pe Dumnezeul cel viu şi poate că Domnul, Dumnezeul tău, îl va pedepsi pentru cuvintele pe care le-a auzit. Înalţă dar o rugăciune pentru rămăşiţa care a mai rămas’.” 5 Slujitorii împăratului Ezechia s-au dus deci la Isaia. 6 Şi Isaia le-a zis: „Iată ce veţi spune stăpânului vostru: ‘Aşa vorbeşte Domnul: «Nu te înspăimânta de cuvintele pe care le-ai auzit şi prin care M-au batjocorit slujitorii împăratului Asiriei. 7 Căci voi pune în el un duh de aşa fel încât, la o veste pe care o va primi, se va întoarce în ţara lui şi-l voi face să cadă ucis de sabie în ţara lui».’ ” 8 Rabşache, la întoarcere, a găsit pe împăratul Asiriei luptând împotriva Libnei, căci aflase de plecarea lui din Lachis. 9 Atunci împăratul Asiriei a primit o veste despre Tirhaca, împăratul Etiopiei, prin care i se spunea: „El a pornit să-ţi facă război”. Cum a auzit lucrul acesta, a trimis soli la Ezechia, zicându-le: 10 „Aşa să vorbiţi lui Ezechia, împăratul lui Iuda: ‘Nu te lăsa amăgit de Dumnezeul tău, în care te încrezi şi zici: «Ierusalimul nu va fi dat în mâinile împăratului Asiriei». 11 Căci ai auzit ce au făcut împăraţii Asiriei tuturor ţărilor şi cum le-au nimicit cu desăvârşire. Şi tu să fii izbăvit? 12 Oare dumnezeii neamurilor pe care le-au nimicit părinţii mei, le-au izbăvit ei, şi anume: Gozanul, Haranul, Reţef şi fiii lui Eden, care sunt la Telasar? 13 Unde este împăratul Hamatului(B), împăratul Arpadului şi împăratul cetăţii Sefarvaim, Hena şi Iva?’ ” 14 Ezechia a luat scrisoarea din mâna solilor şi a citit-o. Apoi s-a suit la Casa Domnului, a întins-o înaintea Domnului, 15 şi i-a făcut următoarea rugăciune: 16 „Doamne al oştirilor, Dumnezeul lui Israel, care şezi pe heruvimi! Tu eşti singurul Dumnezeu al tuturor împărăţiilor pământului! Tu ai făcut cerurile şi pământul! 17 Doamne, pleacă-Ţi(C) urechea şi ascultă! Doamne, deschide-Ţi ochii şi priveşte! Auzi toate cuvintele pe care le-a trimis Sanherib, ca să batjocorească pe Dumnezeul cel viu! 18 Este adevărat, Doamne, că împăraţii Asiriei au pustiit toate ţările şi ţările lor 19 şi că au aruncat în foc pe dumnezeii lor, dar ei nu erau dumnezei, ci erau lucrări făcute de mâinile omului, de lemn şi de piatră. De aceea i-au nimicit. 20 Acum, Doamne, Dumnezeul nostru, izbăveşte-ne din mâna lui Sanherib, ca toate împărăţiile pământului să ştie că numai Tu, Doamne, eşti Dumnezeu!” 21 Atunci Isaia, fiul lui Amoţ, a trimis să spună lui Ezechia: „Aşa vorbeşte Domnul, Dumnezeul lui Israel: ‘Am auzit rugăciunea pe care Mi-ai făcut-o cu privire la Sanherib, împăratul Asiriei. 22 Iată cuvântul pe care l-a rostit Domnul împotriva lui: Fecioara, fiica Sionului, te dispreţuieşte şi îşi bate joc de tine; fata Ierusalimului dă din cap după tine. 23 Pe cine ai batjocorit şi ai ocărât tu? Împotriva cui ţi-ai ridicat glasul şi ţi-ai îndreptat ochii? Împotriva Sfântului lui Israel; 24 prin slujitorii tăi tu ai batjocorit pe Domnul şi ai zis: «Cu mulţimea carelor mele, m-am suit pe vârful munţilor, pe coastele Libanului, şi voi tăia cedrii lui cei mai înalţi, cei mai frumoşi chiparoşi ai lui, şi voi ajunge pe culmea cea mai înaltă, în pădurea lui care este ca un pomăt. 25 Am săpat izvoare şi am băut din apele lor, şi cu talpa picioarelor mele voi seca toate râurile Egiptului.» 26 Dar n-ai auzit că am pregătit aceste lucruri de demult şi că le-am hotărât din vremuri străvechi? Acum însă am dat voie să se împlinească, pentru ca să prefaci cetăţi tari în nişte mormane de dărâmături. 27 Şi locuitorii lor sunt neputincioşi, înspăimântaţi şi uluiţi: sunt ca iarba de pe câmp şi verdeaţa fragedă, ca iarba de pe acoperişuri şi ca grâul care se usucă înainte de a da în spic. 28 Dar Eu ştiu când stai jos, când ieşi afară, când intri şi când eşti mânios împotriva Mea. 29 Deci, pentru că eşti mânios împotriva Mea şi mândria ta a ajuns până la urechile Mele, voi pune veriga(D) Mea în nările tale şi zăbala Mea între buzele tale şi te voi face să te întorci pe drumul pe care ai venit.’ 30 Şi acesta să-ţi fie semnul, Ezechia: anul acesta veţi mânca ce va creşte singur de la sine şi în al doilea an, ce va răsări din aceasta, dar în al treilea an, veţi semăna, veţi secera, veţi sădi vii şi veţi mânca din rodul lor. 31 Şi ce va mai scăpa din casa lui Iuda şi ce va mai rămâne iarăşi va prinde rădăcini dedesubt şi va aduce rod deasupra. 32 Căci din Ierusalim va ieşi o rămăşiţă şi din muntele Sionului, cei izbăviţi. Iată ce va face râvna(E) Domnului oştirilor. 33 De aceea, aşa vorbeşte Domnul despre împăratul Asiriei: ‘El nu va intra în cetatea aceasta, nu va arunca săgeţi în ea, nu-i va sta înainte cu scuturi şi nu va ridica întărituri de şanţuri împotriva ei. 34 Ci se va întoarce pe drumul pe care a venit şi nu va intra în cetatea aceasta, zice Domnul, 35 căci Eu voi ocroti(F) cetatea aceasta ca s-o scap, din pricina Mea şi din pricina robului Meu David!’ ” 36 Îngerul(G) Domnului a ieşit şi a ucis în tabăra asirienilor o sută optzeci şi cinci de mii de oameni. Şi, când s-au sculat dimineaţa, iată că toţi aceştia erau nişte trupuri moarte. 37 Atunci Sanherib, împăratul Asiriei, şi-a ridicat tabăra, a plecat şi s-a întors, şi a rămas la Ninive. 38 Şi, pe când stătea cu faţa la pământ, rugându-se în casa lui Nisroc, dumnezeul său, fiii săi Adramalec şi Şareţer l-au lovit cu sabia şi au fugit în ţara Ararat. Şi în locul lui a domnit fiul său Esar-Hadon.
Isaiah 37
New International Version
Jerusalem’s Deliverance Foretold(A)
37 When King Hezekiah heard this, he tore his clothes(B) and put on sackcloth(C) and went into the temple(D) of the Lord. 2 He sent Eliakim(E) the palace administrator, Shebna(F) the secretary, and the leading priests, all wearing sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz.(G) 3 They told him, “This is what Hezekiah says: This day is a day of distress(H) and rebuke and disgrace, as when children come to the moment of birth(I) and there is no strength to deliver them. 4 It may be that the Lord your God will hear the words of the field commander, whom his master, the king of Assyria, has sent to ridicule(J) the living God,(K) and that he will rebuke him for the words the Lord your God has heard.(L) Therefore pray(M) for the remnant(N) that still survives.”
5 When King Hezekiah’s officials came to Isaiah, 6 Isaiah said to them, “Tell your master, ‘This is what the Lord says: Do not be afraid(O) of what you have heard—those words with which the underlings of the king of Assyria have blasphemed(P) me. 7 Listen! When he hears a certain report,(Q) I will make him want(R) to return to his own country, and there I will have him cut down(S) with the sword.’”
8 When the field commander heard that the king of Assyria had left Lachish,(T) he withdrew and found the king fighting against Libnah.(U)
9 Now Sennacherib(V) received a report(W) that Tirhakah, the king of Cush,[a](X) was marching out to fight against him. When he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah with this word: 10 “Say to Hezekiah king of Judah: Do not let the god you depend on deceive(Y) you when he says, ‘Jerusalem will not be given into the hands of the king of Assyria.’(Z) 11 Surely you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the countries, destroying them completely. And will you be delivered?(AA) 12 Did the gods of the nations that were destroyed by my predecessors(AB) deliver them—the gods of Gozan, Harran,(AC) Rezeph and the people of Eden(AD) who were in Tel Assar? 13 Where is the king of Hamath or the king of Arpad?(AE) Where are the kings of Lair, Sepharvaim,(AF) Hena and Ivvah?”(AG)
Hezekiah’s Prayer(AH)
14 Hezekiah received the letter(AI) from the messengers and read it. Then he went up to the temple(AJ) of the Lord and spread it out before the Lord. 15 And Hezekiah prayed(AK) to the Lord: 16 “Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, enthroned(AL) between the cherubim,(AM) you alone are God(AN) over all the kingdoms(AO) of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.(AP) 17 Give ear, Lord, and hear;(AQ) open your eyes, Lord, and see;(AR) listen to all the words Sennacherib(AS) has sent to ridicule(AT) the living God.(AU)
18 “It is true, Lord, that the Assyrian kings have laid waste all these peoples and their lands.(AV) 19 They have thrown their gods into the fire(AW) and destroyed them,(AX) for they were not gods(AY) but only wood and stone, fashioned by human hands.(AZ) 20 Now, Lord our God, deliver(BA) us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth(BB) may know that you, Lord, are the only God.[b](BC)”
Sennacherib’s Fall(BD)
21 Then Isaiah son of Amoz(BE) sent a message to Hezekiah: “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Because you have prayed to me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria, 22 this is the word the Lord has spoken against him:
“Virgin Daughter(BF) Zion(BG)
despises and mocks you.
Daughter Jerusalem
tosses her head(BH) as you flee.
23 Who is it you have ridiculed and blasphemed?(BI)
Against whom have you raised your voice(BJ)
and lifted your eyes in pride?(BK)
Against the Holy One(BL) of Israel!
24 By your messengers
you have ridiculed the Lord.
And you have said,
‘With my many chariots(BM)
I have ascended the heights of the mountains,
the utmost heights(BN) of Lebanon.(BO)
I have cut down its tallest cedars,
the choicest of its junipers.(BP)
I have reached its remotest heights,
the finest of its forests.
25 I have dug wells in foreign lands[c]
and drunk the water there.
With the soles of my feet
I have dried up(BQ) all the streams of Egypt.(BR)’
26 “Have you not heard?
Long ago I ordained(BS) it.
In days of old I planned(BT) it;
now I have brought it to pass,
that you have turned fortified cities
into piles of stone.(BU)
27 Their people, drained of power,
are dismayed and put to shame.
They are like plants in the field,
like tender green shoots,
like grass(BV) sprouting on the roof,(BW)
scorched[d] before it grows up.
28 “But I know where you are
and when you come and go(BX)
and how you rage(BY) against me.
29 Because you rage against me
and because your insolence(BZ) has reached my ears,
I will put my hook(CA) in your nose(CB)
and my bit in your mouth,
and I will make you return
by the way you came.(CC)
30 “This will be the sign(CD) for you, Hezekiah:
“This year(CE) you will eat what grows by itself,
and the second year what springs from that.
But in the third year(CF) sow and reap,
plant vineyards(CG) and eat their fruit.(CH)
31 Once more a remnant of the kingdom of Judah
will take root(CI) below and bear fruit(CJ) above.
32 For out of Jerusalem will come a remnant,(CK)
and out of Mount Zion a band of survivors.(CL)
The zeal(CM) of the Lord Almighty
will accomplish this.
33 “Therefore this is what the Lord says concerning the king of Assyria:
“He will not enter this city(CN)
or shoot an arrow here.
He will not come before it with shield
or build a siege ramp(CO) against it.
34 By the way that he came he will return;(CP)
he will not enter this city,”
declares the Lord.
35 “I will defend(CQ) this city and save it,
for my sake(CR) and for the sake of David(CS) my servant!”
36 Then the angel(CT) of the Lord went out and put to death(CU) a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the Assyrian(CV) camp. When the people got up the next morning—there were all the dead bodies! 37 So Sennacherib(CW) king of Assyria broke camp and withdrew. He returned to Nineveh(CX) and stayed there.
38 One day, while he was worshiping in the temple(CY) of his god Nisrok, his sons Adrammelek and Sharezer killed him with the sword, and they escaped to the land of Ararat.(CZ) And Esarhaddon(DA) his son succeeded him as king.(DB)
