False Gods and Idols:
Nisroch
Nisroch is mentioned in the Bible as a god associated with the Assyrian city of Nineveh. Nisroch is often considered a deity within the Assyrian pantheon. The name "Nisroch" may also be associated with a winged god or symbol in Assyrian art and inscriptions.
Here is a Bible verses that mentions Nisroch:
2 Kings 19:37 (King James Version):
"And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Armenia. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead."
This verse is part of the account of the Assyrian king Sennacherib's demise. Sennacherib was assassinated by his sons, Adrammelech and Sharezer, while he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch. The incident is mentioned as a fulfillment of the prophecy given by Isaiah regarding Sennacherib's downfall (Isaiah 37:38).
This passage highlights the downfall of a powerful king who trusted in his military might and false gods rather than the Lord, the God of Israel.
