32 “Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the king of Assyria:
‘He shall anot come into this city,
Nor shoot an arrow there,
Nor come before it with shield,
Nor build a siege mound against it.
‘He shall anot come into this city,
Nor shoot an arrow there,
Nor come before it with shield,
Nor build a siege mound against it.
33 By the way that he came,
By the same shall he return;
And he shall not come into this city,’
Says the Lord.
By the same shall he return;
And he shall not come into this city,’
Says the Lord.
34 ‘For aI will bdefend this city, to save it
For My own sake and cfor My servant David’s sake.’ ”
For My own sake and cfor My servant David’s sake.’ ”

37 Now it came to pass, as he was worshiping in the temple of Nisroch his god, that his sons aAdrammelech and Sharezer bstruck him down with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Then cEsarhaddon his son reigned in his place.
