                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In Isaiah chapter 37 the Assyrian army came against the Israelites and God performed a miracle.</p>
<p><span><a href="23.37.36">Isa 37:36</a></span><span>  Then the angel of the LORD went out, and killed in the camp of the Assyrians one hundred and eighty-five thousand; and when </span><span>people</span><span> arose early in the morning, there were the corpses—all dead.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p>Psalm 76 refers to this and the power of God.</p>
<p>I thought this poem by Lord Byron concerning the event was beautiful and thoughtfully written:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span>THE DESTRUCTION OF SENNACHERIB</span></p>
<p><span>The Assyrian came down like the wolf on the fold,<br />And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold;<br />And the sheen of their spears was like stars on the sea,<br />When the blue wave rolls nightly on deep Galilee.<br />Like the leaves of the forest when Summer is green,<br />That host with their banners at sunset were seen:<br />Like the leaves of the forest when Autumn hath blown,<br />That host on the morrow lay withered and strown.<br />For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast,<br />And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed;<br />And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill,<br />And their hearts but once heaved, and forever grew still!<br />And there lay the steed with his nostril all wide,<br />But through it there rolled not the breath of his pride;<br />And the foam of his gasping lay white on the turf,<br />And cold as the spray of the rock-beating surf.<br />And there lay the rider distorted and pale,<br />With the dew on his brow, and the rust on his mail:<br />And the tents were all silent—the banners alone—<br />The lances unlifted—the trumpet unblown.<br />And the widows of Ashur are loud in their wail,<br />And the idols are broke in the temple of Baal;<br />And the might of the Gentile, unsmote by the sword,<br />Hath melted like snow in the glance of the Lord!</span></p>
<p><span>—</span><span>George Gordon, Lord Byron (1788–1824)</span></p>]]></content:encoded>
