  ²⁰Hezekiah the king and Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, prayed because of this, and cried to heaven.
  ²¹The LORD sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty men of valor, the leaders, and captains in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. When he had come into the house of his god, those who came out of his own body killed him there with the sword.
  ²²Thus the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria and from the hand of all others, and guided them on every side.

2 Chronicles 32:21 says that when the king of Assyria had come into the house of his god, those who came out of his own body killed him there with the sword, without naming them. 2 Kings 19:36–37 says that Adrammelech and Sharezer struck Sennacherib king of Assyria with the sword, and does not call them his sons. Isaiah 37:38 says, “Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons struck him with the sword” (the Korean Revised Version: 그 아들 아드람멜렉과 사레셀). This collection records Sennacherib as the father of the two from Isaiah 37:38, as that verse states it, and does not assign names to those whom Chronicles leaves unnamed.
