even thou alone, of all the
Kingdoms of the ear
16) LORD, bow down thine
ear and hear: open, LORD,
thine eyes and see: and hear
the Words of Senacherib,
which hath sent him to
reproach the living GOD
17) Of a truth, LORD, the
King of Assyria have have
destroyed the nations and
their land
18) And have cast their gods
into the fire: for they were
no gods, but the work of
men’s hands wood and
stone; therefore, they have
destroyed them

our GOD, I beseech thee,7
save thou us out of his hand
that all the kingdoms of the
earth may know that thou art
the LORD GOD, even thou
only

Assyria I have heard

32) 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 shield, nor cast
a Bank against it
33) By the way that he came,
by the same shall he return,
and shall not come into this
city, saith the LORD
34) For I will defend this city,
to save it, for mine own sake,
and for my servant David’s
sake

night, that the angel of the
LORD went out, and smote in
the camp of the Assyrians an
hundred four score and five
thousand; and when they
arose early in the morning,
behold, they were all dead
corpses

Sharezer his sons smote him
with the sword; and they
escaped into the land of
Armenia, and Esarhaddon his
son reigned in his stead
