2 Kings 19:29-37 ▼

29 And this is a sign to you: You shall eat this year what grows on its own, and in the second year what springs from the same. And in the third year you will sow and reap; and you will plant vineyards and eat their fruits.

30 And it will continue—the escaped of the house of Judah, the remnant, a root downward, and it will make fruit upward.

31 For out of Jerusalem will go forth a remnant, and those who escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of YHWH of Hosts will do this.

32 Therefore thus says YHWH concerning the king of Assyria: ‘He shall not come into this city, nor will he shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor build a mound against it.

33 By the way that he came in he will return, and into this city he shall not come,’ a declaration of YHWH.

34 ‘For I will cover over this city to save it for My own sake, and for the sake of David My servant.’”

35 And it came to pass on that night that the angel of YHWH went out, and he struck in the camp of Assyria a hundred eighty-five thousand; and they rose early in the morning, and behold, all were dead corpses!

36 And Sennacherib king of Assyria pulled out and went away, and he returned and dwelt in Nineveh.

37 And it came to pass, as he was worshiping in the temple of Nisroch his god, that his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him down with the sword, and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esar-haddon his son reigned in his place.
