2 Chronicles 32

After all that Hezekiah had so faithfully done, Sennacherib king of Assyria came and invaded Judah. When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come and that he intended to make war on Jerusalem, ³ he consulted with his officials and military staff about blocking off the water from the springs outside the city, and they helped him. ⁴ A large force of men assembled, and they blocked all the springs and the stream that flowed through the land. "Why should the kings of Assyria come and find plenty of water?" they said. ⁵ Then he worked hard repairing all the broken sections of the wall and building towers on it. He built another wall outside that one and reinforced the supporting terraces of the City of David. He also made large numbers of weapons and shields.

King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz cried out in prayer to heaven about this. ²¹ And the LORD sent an angel, who annihilated all the fighting men and the leaders and officers in the camp of the Assyrian king. So he withdrew to his own land in disgrace. And when he went into the temple of his god, some of his sons cut him down with the sword. Okay, his own sons killed him? YIKES. He must of been a really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really bad king. I think it would have been really scary to have all your guys killed- by who knows what. I also wonder what god he thought he had that was better than anyone else. He obviously had a temple
