33 Therefore, thus said YHWH, || Concerning the king of Asshur: He does not come into this city, || Nor does he shoot an arrow there, || Nor does he come before it [with] shield, || Nor does he pour out a mound against it. 34 In the way that he came, in it he turns back, || And to this city he does not come in, || A declaration of YHWH, 35 And I have covered over this city, || To save it, for My own sake, || And for the sake of My servant David.” 36 And a messenger of YHWH goes out, and strikes in the camp of Asshur one hundred and eighty-five thousand; and [men] rise early in the morning, and behold, all of them [are] dead corpses. 37 And he journeys, and goes, and Sennacherib king of Asshur turns back, and dwells in Nineveh. 38 And it comes to pass, he is bowing himself in the house of his god Nisroch, and his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer have struck him with the sword, and they have escaped to the land of Ararat, and his son Esar-Haddon reigns in his stead.
