Hezekiah’s Life Extended
1 In 2 Kin. 18:13; 2 Chr. 32:24; Is. 38:1–22those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, went to him and said to him, "Thus says the Lord: ‘Set your house in order, for you shall die, and not live.’ "
2 Then he turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying, 3 2 Kin. 18:3–6; Neh. 13:22"Remember now, O Lord, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done whatwas good in Your sight." And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
4 And it happened, before Isaiah had gone out into the middle court, that the word of the Lord came to him, saying, 5 "Return and tell Hezekiah 1 Sam. 9:16; 10:1the leader of My people, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father: 2 Kin. 19:20; Ps. 65:2"I have heard your prayer, I have seen Ps. 39:12; 56:8your tears; surely I will heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord.
