Senses in use

  1. Name of the god whose house is the setting · dominant

    In 2 Kings 19:37 and Isaiah 37:38, the form is tagged as a proper noun and occurs in the phrase naming the house of this god. In 2 Kings 19:37 the APB renders the setting as “the house of Nisroch his god,” while Isaiah 37:38 places the king there as he is “bowing down” before his sons strike him.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name directly in “the house of Nisroch his god” in both verses. The surrounding descriptions of worshiping and bowing down identify the clause's setting rather than independently defining the name.
