Contradiction with 2 Kings 19:35
This verse contradicts 2 Kings 18:13 as it describes an angel of the Lord striking down 185,000 Assyrian soldiers, ensuring Jerusalem's deliverance, conflicting with the notion of Assyrian power in 18:13.
2 Kings 19:35: And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they [were] all dead corpses.

Isaiah 37:36: Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they [were] all dead corpses.
Contradiction with 2 Chronicles 32:21
This verse reports the divine destruction of Assyrian troops, which contradicts the initial narrative of Assyrian dominance in 2 Kings 18:13.
2 Chronicles 32:21: And the LORD sent an angel, which cut off all the mighty men of valour, and the leaders and captains in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he was come into the house of his god, they that came forth of his own bowels slew him there with the sword. [slew...: Heb. made him fall]
