32 Therefore, thus said Jehovah to the king of Assur, He shall not come into this city, and he shall not shoot an arrow there, and a shield shall not come before it, and he shall not cast a mound against it. 33 In the way in which be shall come in it he shall turn back, and to this city he shall not come in, says Jehovah. 34 And I protected this city, to save it for my sake and for sake of David my servant. 35 And it will be in that night the messenger of Jehovah will strike in the camp of Assur, a hundred eighty and five thousand; and they will rise early in the morning, and behold, all of them dead corpses. 36 And Senherib king of Assur will turn away and go and turn back and dwell in Nineveh. 37 And he will be worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, and Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him with the sword: and they escaped to the land of Ararat: and Esarhaddon his son will reign in his stead. 2 Kings 19:32-37, Smith's Literal Translation.
