“‘I will defend this city and save it for My own sake and for the sake of My servant David.’”
Isaiah 37:35 (BSB)
Context Reading
33So this is what the LORD says about the king of Assyria: ‘He will not enter this city or shoot an arrow into it. He will not come before it with a shield or build up a siege ramp against it. 34He will go back the way he came, and he will not enter this city,’ declares the LORD. 35‘I will defend this city and save it for My own sake and for the sake of My servant David.’” 36Then the angel of the LORD went out and struck down 185,000 men in the camp of the Assyrians. When the people got up the next morning, there were all the dead bodies! 37So Sennacherib king of Assyria broke camp and withdrew. He returned to Nineveh and stayed there.
