2 Chronicles 32:21

2 CHRONICLES—NOTE ON 2 Chronicles 32:21 Shame of face was the result when the arrogant Assyrian king tried to destroy God’s people (compare Psalms 34:4; Psalms 35:4). some of his own sons struck him down. This did not happen until 20 years later, in 681 B.C. (see notes on 2 Kings 19:35–36; 19:37).
