And the LORD sent an angel, which cut off all the mighty men of valour, and the leaders and captains in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he was come into the house of his god, they that came forth of his own bowels slew him there with the sword.

Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32:21

Theological / Devotional

Sent an angel. Compare 2 Kings 19:35, 36 and Isa. 37:36, 37, which are parallel accounts of the destruction of the Assyrian hosts and of the departure of Sennacherib from Judea for Assyria.

Slew him. According to 2 Kings 19:37 and Isa. 37:38, Sennacherib was slain by his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer, who thereupon fled into Annenia. Sennacherib’s death took place in 681 B.C., according to the chronology based on the Assyrian records.
