In those days Hezekiah became

. The prophet Isaiah
son of Amoz came to him and said, “This
is
what
the
LORD
says :
‘Put
your house in order ,
for you are
about
to
die ;
you
will
not recover
. ’”
In those days was
Hezekiah sick
to
death
. Isaiah
the prophet the
son of Amoz came to him ,
and said to
him
, Thus
says Yahweh,
Set
your house in order :
for you shall
die ,
and
not live
.
Then Hezekiah
turned his face to the wall and prayed to the
LORD
, saying,
Then he
turned his face to the wall ,
and prayed to Yahweh
, saying,
“Please
, O
LORD
, remember
how I have walked before You faithfully
and with wholehearted
devotion;
I
have done what
was
good in Your sight. ”
And
Hezekiah wept bitterly
.
Remember
now
, Yahweh
, I
beg
you,
how I have walked before you in
truth
and with a
perfect
heart,
and
have done that
which
is
good in your sight. Hezekiah wept sore
.
Before Isaiah had
left
the middle courtyard
, the word of the
LORD
came to him, saying,
It
happened,
before Isaiah was
gone
out
into
the middle part
of
the
city
, that
the word of Yahweh
came to him, saying,
“Go
back and tell Hezekiah the leader
of My people that
this
is
what
the
LORD
, the God of your father David
, says:
‘
I have heard your prayer ;
I have seen your tears .
I will surely
heal you .
On the third day from
now
you will
go up to the house of the
LORD
.

back ,
and tell Hezekiah the prince
of my people, Thus
says
Yahweh,
the God of David
your father, I have heard your prayer ,
I have seen your tears :
behold,
I will heal you ;
on the third day you shall
go up to the house of Yahweh

I will add fifteen
years
to your life.
And I will deliver you and this city from
the hand of the king of Assyria .
I will defend this city for My sake and for the
sake
of
My servant David
. ’”

sake ,

Then
Isaiah said, “Prepare
a poultice
of figs. ”
So
they brought
it
and applied
it to
the boil, and Hezekiah
recovered.
Isaiah said, Take
a cake
of figs. They took
and laid
it on
the boil, and he
recovered.
Now
Hezekiah had
asked
Isaiah, “
What will
be the sign that the
LORD
will heal me and that I will
go up to the house of the
LORD
on
the third day? ”
Hezekiah said
to
Isaiah, What shall
be the sign that Yahweh
will heal me ,
and that I shall
go up to the house of Yahweh
the third day?
And
Isaiah had
replied
, “
This will
be a
sign to you from the
LORD
that He
will do what
He has promised
: Would
you
like
the shadow to
go forward ten steps, or back ten steps? ”
Isaiah said
, This shall
be the
sign to you from Yahweh,
that Yahweh
will do the
thing
that
he has spoken
: shall
the shadow go forward ten steps, or go
back ten steps?
“
It is easy
for the shadow to lengthen
ten steps ,”
answered
Hezekiah
, “
but not
for
it
to
go
back
ten steps. ”
Hezekiah
answered,
It is a
light
thing
for the shadow to decline
ten steps :
nay
, but let
the
shadow
return
backward
ten steps.
So
Isaiah the prophet called
out
to the
LORD,
and He brought the shadow back
the
ten steps it had descended
on the stairway
of Ahaz.
Isaiah the prophet cried
to Yahweh;
and he brought the shadow ten steps backward,
by
which
it had gone
down
on the dial
of Ahaz.
At that time Merodach
-baladan son of Baladan king of Babylon sent letters and a gift
to Hezekiah ,
for he had heard about
Hezekiah’s
illness
.
At that time Berodach
-baladan the
son of Baladan ,
king of Babylon ,
sent letters and a present
to Hezekiah ;
for he had heard that
Hezekiah
had
been
sick
.
And
Hezekiah received
the
envoys
and showed
them all that
was
in
his
treasure
house —
the silver, the gold, the spices, and the precious oil, as
well
as
his armory—
all that was found in his storehouses.
There was nothing in his palace
or
in all his dominion that Hezekiah did
not
show them.
Hezekiah listened
to
them,
and shown
them all the
house of
his
precious
things,
the silver, and
the gold, and
the spices, and the precious oil, and
the
house
of
his armor,
and
all that was found in his treasures:
there was nothing in his house,
nor
in all his dominion ,
that Hezekiah didn't
show them.
Then the prophet Isaiah
went
to King Hezekiah and asked
, “Where
did
those
men come
from,
and what
did
they say
to you? ”
“
They came
from a distant
land,”
Hezekiah
replied
, “
from Babylon. ”
Then came
Isaiah
the prophet to king Hezekiah ,
and said
to
him
, What
said
these
men ?
and from
whence
came
they to you? Hezekiah
said,
They are
come
from a far
country
, even
from Babylon.
“
What have they seen in your palace
? ”
Isaiah
asked.
“They
have
seen
everything
in my palace,”
answered
Hezekiah.
“
There is nothing among my treasures that I did
not show
them. ”
He
said,
What have they seen in your house
? Hezekiah
answered,
All
that
is
in my house
have
they
seen:
there is nothing among my treasures that I have
not shown
them.
Then
Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “
Hear the word of the
LORD:
Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Hear the word of Yahweh.
The time
will
surely
come when
everything
in your palace
and all
that your fathers have stored
up until
this day will
be carried off
to Babylon .
Nothing will
be left, says the
LORD
.
Behold,
the days
come ,
that
all
that
is
in your house,
and that which
your fathers have laid
up in
store
to
this day ,
shall
be carried to Babylon :
nothing shall
be left, says Yahweh
.
And
some
of your descendants
, your
own
flesh
and
blood
, will
be
taken
away to
be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon. ”
Of your sons
who
shall
issue
from
you
, whom
you
shall
father
, shall
they
take
away ;
and
they
shall
be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
But
Hezekiah
said to Isaiah, “
The word of the
LORD
that
you have spoken is
good
. ”
For
he thought
, “Will
there
not
at
least
be
peace and security
in my lifetime
? ”
Then
said Hezekiah
to Isaiah, Good
is
the word of Yahweh
which
you have spoken. He said
moreover
, Isn't
it
so,
if
peace and truth
shall
be
in my days
?
As
for
the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, along
with
all his might and how he constructed
the pool and the tunnel
to
bring
water into the city, are
they not
written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Now
the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and
all his might ,
and how he made
the pool ,
and the conduit,
and
brought
water into the city, aren't
they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
And
Hezekiah rested
with his fathers ,
and his son Manasseh
reigned in his place.
Hezekiah slept
with his fathers ;
and Manasseh
his son reigned in his place.
