Yahweh sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty men of valor, and 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 was come into the house of his god, those who came forth from his own bowels killed him there with the sword.

Commentators explain that God's deliverance was sudden, complete, and miraculous. While the exact nature of the 'angel' is debated—some suggest a pestilence or a destructive wind—all agree it was a direct act of God. This event demonstrates that God has ultimate power over even the mightiest human armies and can save His people in impossible situations.
