The Syrians fled before Yisra'el; and David killed of the Syrians [the men of] seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen, and struck Shovakh the captain of their army, so that he died there.
It happened that night, that the angel of the LORD went forth, and struck in the camp of the Ashur one hundred eighty-five thousand: and when men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.
The LORD sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty men of valor, and the leaders and captains, in the camp of the king of Ashur. 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.
Then Moshe and the children of Yisra'el sang this song to the LORD, and said, *I will sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.
The angel of the LORD went out and struck one hundred and eighty-five thousand men in the camp of the Ashur. When men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.
When they are heated, I will make their feast, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, says the LORD.
I will make drunk her princes and her wise men, her governors and her deputies, and her mighty men; and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake up, says the King, whose name is the LORD of Armies.
Who can stand before his indignation? Who can endure the fierceness of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken apart by him.
*Behold, I am against you,* says the LORD of Armies, *and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword will devour your young lions; and I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voice of your messengers will no longer be heard.*
In that day,* says the LORD, *I will strike every horse with terror, and his rider with madness; and I will open my eyes on the house of Yehudah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.
So David took the spear and the jar of water from Sha'ul's head; and they got them away: and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither did any awake; for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from the LORD was fallen on them.
