^16 (A)When the angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, ^(B)the Lord relented from the calamity and said to the angel who destroyed the people, “It is enough! Now relax your hand!” And the angel of the Lord was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

²¹ And the Lord sent an angel who destroyed every mighty warrior, commander and officer in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned ^[a]in shame to his own land. And when he had entered the temple of his god, some of his own children killed him there with the sword.
