2 Kings 19:37

19:37 One day, ⁸  as he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, ⁹  his sons ¹⁰  Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him down with the sword. ¹¹  They escaped to the land of Ararat; his son Esarhaddon replaced him as king.

[1:17]  ¹ tn Heb “according to the word of the Lord which he spoke through Elijah.”

[1:17]  ² tn Heb “Jehoram replaced him as king…because he had no son.” Some ancient textual witnesses add “his brother,” which was likely added on the basis of the statement later in the verse that Ahaziah had no son.

[3:27]  ³ tn Heb “there was great anger against Israel.”

[3:27]  ⁴ tn Heb “they departed from him.”

[6:30]  ⁵ tn Heb “the people saw, and look, [there was] sackcloth against his skin underneath.”

[12:21]  ⁷ tn Heb “struck him down and he died.”

[12:21]  ⁸ tn Heb “they buried him.”

[19:37]  ⁹ sn The assassination probably took place in 681 b.c.

[19:37]  ¹⁰ sn No such Mesopotamian god is presently known. Perhaps the name is a corruption of Nusku.

[19:37]  ¹¹ 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]  ¹² 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.
