2 Kings 19 records the most astonishing miracle in the Books of Kings. In 701 BC, an "angel of the Lord" descended upon Jerusalem and slaughtered 185,000 Assyrian soldiers, lifting Sennacherib's siege of the city.
Incredibly, the angel's destruction of Sennacherib's army is perhaps the most well-documented miracle in the Old Testament, with the Deuteronomist's account finding support or corroboration in Egyptian, Babylonian, and Assyrian sources.
Had the Assyrians succeeded in taking Jerusalem, the entire Kingdom of Judah—and, with it, all worship of the God of Jacob—would have been erased from the pages of history.
