32 So this is what the LORD {YHWH} says about the king of Assyria (a step): ‘He will not enter this city or shoot an arrow into it. He will not come before it with a shield or build up a siege ramp against it. 33 He will go back the way he came, and he will not enter this city, declares the LORD {YHWH}. 34 I will defend this city and save it for My own sake and for the sake of My servant David (beloved).’” 35 And that very night the angel of the LORD {YHWH} went out and struck down 185,000 men in the camp of the Assyrians (a step). When the people got up the next morning, there were all the dead bodies! 36 So Sennacherib king of Assyria (a step) broke camp and withdrew. He returned to Nineveh (abode of Ninus) and stayed there. 37 One day, while he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch (the great eagle), his sons Adrammelech (honor of the king) and Sharezer [his sons] put him to the sword and escaped to the land of Ararat (curse reversed). And his son Esar-haddon (Ashur has given a brother) reigned in his place. 2 Kings 19:32-37, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
