Isaiah 37:36-38

EasyEnglish Bible

The Lord destroys Assyria's army

³⁶ Then the Lord's angel went to the camp of the Assyrian army. He killed 185,000 of their soldiers. When people got up in the morning, they saw all those dead bodies! ³⁷ So King Sennacherib of Assyria took his army away. He returned to Assyria and he lived in Nineveh.

³⁸ One day, Sennacherib was worshipping his god Nisrok, in Nisrok's temple. Two of Sennacherib's sons, Adrammelech and Sharezer, went in and they killed him with their swords.^[a] Then they ran away to the region of Ararat. Sennacherib's son, Esarhaddon, now ruled Assyria as king.
