You won’t have to be afraid of the sickness that attacks in the darkness. You won’t have to fear the plague that destroys at noon.
So the Lord sent a plague on Israel. It lasted from that morning until he decided to end it. From Dan all the way to Beersheba 70,000 people died.
That night the angel of the Lord went into the camp of the Assyrians. He put to death 185,000 people there. The people of Jerusalem got up the next morning and looked out at the camp. There were all the dead bodies!
He stood between those alive and those dead. And the plague stopped.
