36 And the. angel ’the Lord went out, and smote in the camp of Assyria an hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and (men) arose earl in the morning, and behold, they were all dead corpses.

37 And Sennacherib king of Assyria broke up, and went, and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.

38 And it came ’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 Ararat; and Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.

XXXVIII. 1 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Give orders to thine house; for thou diest, and shalt not live.

[*](30 Perhaps. ‘they ye ’ (verb is infin.): ‘that which groweth... ’: some render, ‘fallow growth...root ’ See Levit. xxv. 5. The verse is somewhat obscure.)[*](38. Or, ‘And he was worshipping...and A. and ’ ‘Nisroch‘: name unknown from other sources, and considered doubtful. ‘escaped’: lit. ‘saved themselves.)[*](1. Or, ‘concerning thine house.)

2 And Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the Lord,

3 And said, Ah LORD, remember, I pray thee, how that I have walked before thee in truth and with whole heart, and have done that which is good in thine eyes. And Hezekiah wept, a great weeping.

4 And the word of the LORD came to Isaiah, saying,

5 Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I am adding to thy days ﬁfteen years.
