- On that night [when Sancheirev returned to Israel after conquering the kingdom of Cush[1], which was the night of Pesach[2]] an angel of Hashem came and slew one hundred and eighty-five thousand generals of soldiers of the camp of Ashur. Sancheirev and his remaining soldiers arose in the morning, and behold they saw all the dead corpses of their generals and soldiers.
- Sancheirev leaves Israel and dwells in Ninveh: Sancheirev, the king of Ashur, left the land of Israel and went to dwell in Nineveh.
- Sancheirev is assassinated by his own sons: It happened that when Sancheirev was prostrating himself in the temple of Nisroch his G-d, that his sons Adramelech and Sharezer assassinated him, killing him with a sword. The sons fled to the land of Ararat, and his son Eisar-Chaddon reigned in his stead.
