Esarhaddon

2 Kings 19:35–37, “And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses. So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh. And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Armenia. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.”

The Lord came to the Assyrian camp in the night and 185, 000 Assyrian soldiers were killed. This great miracle destroyed their army so they were not able to attack Jerusalem. The king and the remnant of his army returned home to Nineveh. After a few years two of Sennacherib’s sons killed him while he was worshipping his god and he was succeeded by his son Esarhaddon.
