Isaiah 37:38

38 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Armenia:i and Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.

Isa. 37:38. God pours contempt not only on this great king, but on his god. He had cast great contempt on the God of Israel, and made as though He were unable to defend Jerusalem from his power, as Isaiah 36:18-20, and in verses Isaiah 36:10-13 of this chapter. This God of Israel that he so despised, as though much inferior to his god, now shows how unable his god is to defend him, by ordering it so that he should be slain in the very temple of his god in whom he trusted, in his sanctuary and in the secret of his presence, and that while he was there worshipping of him and imploring his help under his present low and distressed circumstances, and slain, too, by his own sons.

Isa. 38:18-19
