Morning, and the Assyrian camp outside is full of dead men. 185,000. Everyone’s saying the angel of the LORD went through it in the night. Sennacherib has packed up and gone home to Nineveh.
To Hezekiah. The LORD has heard your prayer about Sennacherib. Jerusalem shakes her head and laughs at you, Assyria. I’ll put my hook in your nose and my bit in your mouth, and send you home the way you came. He won’t enter this city or shoot one arrow here. I’ll defend this city, for my sake and for David’s.

Woke up to a silent camp.
I live in Jerusalem in King Hezekiah’s day, when Sennacherib’s army was camped outside the walls.
