2 Chronicles 32:21

And the Lord sent his angel, the which killed each strong man and warrior, and the prince of the host of the king of Assyrians; and he/ Sennacherib turned again with shame to his land. And when he had entered into the house of his god, the sons, which went out of his womb, killed him there with sword. (And the Lord sent his angel, who killed each strong man and warrior, and the leader of the army of the king of Assyria; and he, that is Sennacherib, returned with shame to his own land. And when he had gone into the house of his god, the sons, who went out of his womb, killed him there with the sword.)
