Well, the important factor was what happened to the Assyrian army.
The Jews said an angel of God went through the camp of the Assyrians
and killed 186,000
of them.  They certainly seem to have ended up dead some way.
Chaldean historians said they died of plague.
==================================
The plague existed (and there may still be some of the bacteria in some 
laboratory, somewhere).
Gods and angels don't exist, except in your deluded mind, Skippy.
Get over it.
