When the morning came, the people could see all the dead bodies strewn around the camp. ³⁷ So Sennacherib, king of Assyria, broke camp and went back to live in Nineveh, his capital in Assyria. ³⁸ But one day, while he was worshiping his god Nisroch in that temple, his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer attacked and killed him. They immediately fled to Ararat, leaving the throne empty. So Esarhaddon, another of Sennacherib’s sons, became Assyria’s king after him.
