Expanded Bible

The Angel of Death^(A)

³⁵ That night the ·angel [messenger] of the Lord went out and killed one hundred eighty-five thousand men in the Assyrian camp. When the people got up early the next morning, they saw all the dead bodies. ³⁶ So Sennacherib king of Assyria left and went back to Nineveh and stayed there.

³⁷ One day as Sennacherib was worshiping in the ·temple [^Lhouse] of his god Nisroch, his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer killed him with a sword. Then they escaped to the land of Ararat. So Sennacherib’s son Esarhaddon became king of Assyria.
