33 “Therefore this is what the Lord says concerning the king of Assyria:

“He will not enter this city(A)
    or shoot an arrow here.
He will not come before it with shield
    or build a siege ramp(B) against it.
34 By the way that he came he will return;(C)
    he will not enter this city,”
declares the Lord.
35 “I will defend(D) this city and save it,
    for my sake(E) and for the sake of David(F) my servant!”

36 Then the angel(G) of the Lord went out and put to death(H) a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the Assyrian(I) camp. When the people got up the next morning—there were all the dead bodies! 37 So Sennacherib(J) king of Assyria broke camp and withdrew. He returned to Nineveh(K) and stayed there.

33 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against it.

34 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the Lord.

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

36 Then the angel of the Lord went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.

37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
