Nisroch; Assyrian deity worshiped by Sennacherib (possibly corrupted form of Nusku)
This divine name designates the god in whose temple Sennacherib was assassinated by his sons. Both 2 Kings 19:37 and Isaiah 37:38 record the Assyrian king 'worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god' when murdered. No deity by this exact name appears in cuneiform inscriptions, leading scholars to suggest it's a corrupted or intentionally altered form of Nusku, a Mesopotamian solar deity. The Hebrew text may have deliberately distorted the pagan god's name. Ancient versions (Septuagint, Josephus) render it with various spellings, reflecting uncertainty even in antiquity.

1. sense 1 — The twin references recount Sennacherib's death after his failed siege of Jerusalem. Both parallel texts state that while the king 'was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer, his sons, struck him down with the sword.' The ironic timing—murdered in his own god's temple—underscores divine judgment against one who mocked the God of Israel. The phrase 'his god' (2 Kgs) or 'Nisroch' (Isa) identifies this as the deity Sennacherib particularly honored. Scholars debate whether this represents Nusku (solar god), Marduk (chief Babylonian god), or another deity whose name was textually corrupted. Whatever the original, biblical writers preserve the tradition that Israel's blasphemer died in the very act of worshiping his patron deity. 2×
