1 In those days Hezekiah was sick and dying. Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, “YHWH says, ‘Set your house in order; for you will die, and not live.’” 2 Kings 20:1WEB
2 Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to YHWH, saying, 2 Kings 20:2WEB
3 “Remember now, YHWH, 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.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly. 2 Kings 20:3WEB
4 Before Isaiah had gone out into the middle part of the city, YHWH’s word came to him, saying, 2 Kings 20:4WEB
5 “Turn back, and tell Hezekiah the prince of my people, ‘YHWH, the God of David your father, says, “I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you. On the third day, you will go up to YHWH’s house. 2 Kings 20:5WEB
6 I will add to your days fifteen years. I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for my own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.”’” 2 Kings 20:6WEB
7 Isaiah said, “Take a cake of figs.” They took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered. 2 Kings 20:7WEB
8 Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “What will be the sign that YHWH will heal me, and that I will go up to YHWH’s house the third day?” 2 Kings 20:8WEB
9 Isaiah said, “This will be the sign to you from YHWH, that YHWH will do the thing that he has spoken: should the shadow go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps?” 2 Kings 20:9WEB
10 Hezekiah answered, “It is a light thing for the shadow to go forward ten steps. No, but let the shadow return backward ten steps.” 2 Kings 20:10WEB
11 Isaiah the prophet cried to YHWH; and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, by which it had gone down on the sundial of Ahaz. 2 Kings 20:11WEB
12 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. 2 Kings 20:12WEB
13 Hezekiah listened to them, and showed them all the storehouse of his precious things—the silver, the gold, 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, or in all his dominion, that Hezekiah didn’t show them. 2 Kings 20:13WEB
14 Then Isaiah the prophet came to king Hezekiah, and said to him, “What did these men say? From where did they come to you?” Hezekiah said, “They have come from a far country, even from Babylon.” 2 Kings 20:14WEB
15 He said, “What have they seen in your house?” Hezekiah answered, “They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.” 2 Kings 20:15WEB
16 Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear YHWH’s word. 2 Kings 20:16WEB
17 ‘Behold, the days come that all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have laid up in store to this day, will be carried to Babylon. Nothing will be left,’ says YHWH. 2 Kings 20:17WEB
18 ‘They will take away some of your sons who will issue from you, whom you will father; and they will be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.’” 2 Kings 20:18WEB
19 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “YHWH’s word which you have spoken is good.” He said moreover, “Isn’t it so, if peace and truth will be in my days?” 2 Kings 20:19WEB
20 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? 2 Kings 20:20WEB
21 Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and Manasseh his son reigned in his place. 2 Kings 20:21WEB
