Isaiah 37:36

Verse 36 of 38. The 37th of 66 chapters in Isaiah, in The Major Prophets.

32For out of Jerusalem a remnant will go out, and survivors will escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of the LORD of Armies will perform this.’

33“Therefore the LORD says concerning the king of Assyria, ‘He will not come to this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither will he come before it with shield, nor cast up a mound against it.

34He will return the way that he came, and he won’t come to this city,’ says the LORD.

35‘For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.’”

36Then the LORD’s angel went out and struck one hundred and eighty-five thousand men in the camp of the Assyrians. When men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.

37So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, went away, returned to Nineveh, and stayed there.

38As he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Esar Haddon his son reigned in his place.
