35 Ngalobobusuku ingilosi kaJehova yafika yabulala amadoda angu-185 000 enkambeni yama-Asiriya.+ Abantu bathi bevuka ekuseni babona sekuyizidumbu zodwa.+ 36 USenakheribhi inkosi ye-Asiriya wasesuka wabuyela eNiniva+ wayahlala khona.+ 37 Ngelinye ilanga wathi esakhotheme ekhonza endlini kankulunkulu* wakhe uNizirokhi, amadodana akhe u-Adrameleki loSharezeri ambulala ngenkemba,+ asebaleka aya elizweni le-Ararathi.+ Ngemva kwalokho indodana yakhe u-Esa-hadoni+ yathatha ubukhosi.

21 Ngakho uJehova wathumela ingilosi, yafika yabulala wonke amaqhawe alamandla+ labakhokheli lezinduna ezazisenkambeni yenkosi ye-Asiriya. USenakheribhi wabuyela elizweni lakhe eyangekile. Ngemva kwesikhathi wangena endlini kankulunkulu* wakhe futhi amanye amadodana akhe ambulalela khonapho ngenkemba.+
