Isaiah 37:37-38

Context
37:37 So King Sennacherib of Assyria broke camp and went on his way. He went home and stayed in Nineveh.¹ 37:38 One day,² as he was worshiping³ in the temple of his god Nisroch,⁴ his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him down with the sword.⁵ They ran away to the land of Ararat; his son Esarhaddon replaced him as king.

¹tn Heb “and Sennacherib king of Assyria departed and went and returned and lived in Nineveh.”

²sn The assassination of King Sennacherib probably took place in 681 b.c.

³tn The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.

⁴sn No such Mesopotamian god is presently known. Perhaps the name Nisroch is a corruption of Nusku.

⁵sn Extra-biblical sources also mention the assassination of Sennacherib, though they refer to only one assassin. See M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 239-40.
