21 And the Lord sent an Angel, which destroyed all the valiant men, and the princes and [b]captains of the host of the king of Assyria: so he returned [c]with shame to his own land. And when he was come into the house of his god, they that came forth of his [d]own bowels, slew him there with the sword.

22 So the Lord saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib king of Assyria, and from the hand of all others, and [e]maintained them on every side.
