All the nations fighting against Jerusalem[a]
    will vanish like a dream!
Those who are attacking her walls
    will vanish like a vision in the night.

    but is still faint from thirst when morning comes.
So it will be with your enemies,
    with those who attack Mount Zion.”

When the surviving Assyrians[a] woke up the next morning, they found corpses everywhere. 37 Then King Sennacherib of Assyria broke camp and returned to his own land. He went home to his capital of Nineveh and stayed there.

38 One day while he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer killed him with their swords. They then escaped to the land of Ararat, and another son, Esarhaddon, became the next king of Assyria.
