30And those of Judah who are still living will again take root in the earth and give fruit.

34For I will keep this town safe, for my honour, and for the honour of my servant David.
35And that night the angel of the Lord went out and put to death in the army of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand men; and when the people got up early in the morning, there was nothing to be seen but dead bodies.
36So Sennacherib, king of Assyria, went back to his place at Nineveh.
