“And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Armenia: and Esar–haddon his son reigned in his stead.”
The narrative reports that while Sennacherib was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, his sons struck him down with the sword, establishing the fulfillment of further consequences. The oracle records that the Assyrian king, having returned to his homeland, meets his end through assassination by his own sons. The narrative establishes that the justice of God is ultimately comprehensive and affects even the fate of the Assyrian king himself.
