2 Kings 19:34 In-Context

32 "This is what the LORD says about the king of Assyria: He will never come into this city, shoot an arrow here, hold a shield in front of it, or put up dirt ramps to attack it.

33 He will go back the way he came, and he won't come into this city," declares the LORD of Armies.

34 "I will shield this city to rescue it for my sake and for the sake of my servant David."

35 It happened that night. The LORD's angel went out and killed 185,000 [soldiers] in the Assyrian camp. When the Judeans got up early in the morning, they saw all the corpses.

36 Then King Sennacherib of Assyria left. He went home to Nineveh and stayed there.
