2 Raja-raja 19:37

19:37 One day, ¹  as he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, ²  his sons ³  Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him down with the sword. ⁴  They escaped to the land of Ararat; his son Esarhaddon replaced him as king.

2 Raja-raja 19:2

19:2 He sent Eliakim the palace supervisor, Shebna the scribe, and the leading priests, ⁵  clothed in sackcloth, with this message to the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz:

1 Tawarikh 1:21

1:21 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,

Yesaya 10:12

10:12 But when ⁶  the sovereign master ⁷  finishes judging ⁸  Mount Zion and Jerusalem, then I ⁹  will punish the king of Assyria for what he has proudly planned and for the arrogant attitude he displays. ¹⁰ 

[19:37]  ¹ sn The assassination probably took place in 681 b.c.

[19:37]  ² sn No such Mesopotamian god is presently known. Perhaps the name is a corruption of Nusku.

[19:37]  ³ tc Although “his sons” is absent in the Kethib, it is supported by the Qere, along with many medieval Hebrew mss and the ancient versions. Cf. Isa 37:38.

[19:37]  ⁴ sn 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.

[19:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “elders of the priests.”

[10:12]  ⁶ tn The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.

[10:12]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew term translated “sovereign master” here and in vv. 16, 23, 24, 33 is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay).

[10:12]  ⁸ tn Heb “his work on/against.” Cf. NAB, NASB, NRSV “on”; NIV “against.”

[10:12]  ⁹ tn The Lord is speaking here, as in vv. 5-6a.

[10:12]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “I will visit [judgment] on the fruit of the greatness of the heart of the king of Assyria, and on the glory of the height of his eyes.” The proud Assyrian king is likened to a large, beautiful fruit tree.
