2KI-20:1 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the
prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him,
Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt
die, and not live.
2KI-20:2 Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto
the LORD, saying,
2KI-20:3 I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now how I have walked
before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done
[that which is] good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.
2KI-20:4 And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the
middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying,
2KI-20:5 Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people,
Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard
thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on
the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD.
2KI-20:6 And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will
deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of
Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for
my servant David's sake.
2KI-20:7 And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and
laid [it] on the boil, and he recovered.
2KI-20:8 And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What [shall be] the sign
that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the
house of the LORD the third day?
2KI-20:9 And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD,
that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the
shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?
2KI-20:10 And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the
shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return
backward ten degrees.
2KI-20:11 And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he
brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone
down in the dial of Ahaz.
2KI-20:12 At that time Berodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king
of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah: for he had
heard that Hezekiah had been sick.
2KI-20:13 And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and showed them all
the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and
the spices, and the precious ointment, and [all] the house of
his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was
nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah
showed them not.
2KI-20:14 Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and
said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they
unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country,
[even] from Babylon.
2KI-20:15 And he said, What have they seen in thine house? And
Hezekiah answered, All [the things] that [are] in mine house
have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have
not showed them.
2KI-20:16 And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the
LORD.
2KI-20:17 Behold, the days come, that all that [is] in thine
house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto
this day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left,
saith the LORD.
2KI-20:18 And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou
shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in
the palace of the king of Babylon.
2KI-20:19 Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good [is] the word of
the LORD which thou hast spoken. And he said, [Is it] not [good],
if peace and truth be in my days?
2KI-20:20 And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his
might, and how he made a pool, and a conduit, and brought water
into the city, [are] they not written in the book of the
chronicles of the kings of Judah?
2KI-20:21 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers: and Manasseh his
son reigned in his stead.
