International Standard Version
God Destroys the Assyrian Army
35 That very night, the angel of the Lord went out to the camp of the Assyrian army and killed 185,000 men. Early the next morning, when the army of Israel[a] arose, all 185,000 soldiers[b] were dead. 36 As a result, King Sennacherib of Assyria left and returned to Nineveh where he lived. 37 Later on, as he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, Adrammelech[c] and Sharezer killed him with a sword and fled into the territory of Ararat. Then Sennacherib’s[d] son Esarhaddon became king in his place.- Isaiah 37:36-38
Isaiah 37:36-38 NIV (New International Version)Then the angel of the LORD went out and put to death a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the Assyrian camp. When the people got up the next morning—there were all the dead bodies! So Sennacherib king of Assyria broke camp and withdrew. He returned to Nineveh and stayed there. One day, while he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisrok, his sons Adrammelek and Sharezer killed him with the sword, and they escaped to the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon- 2 Chronicles 32:21
The devastation forced the Assyrian army to retreat back to Nineveh, where King Sennacherib was later assassinated by his own sons. [1, 2]
