20:1 In those days Hezekiah was sick to death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him and said to him, Jehovah says thus, Set your house in order, because you will die and not live. 20:2 Then he turned his face to the wall and prayed to Jehovah, saying, 20:3 Remember now, O Jehovah, I beseech you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart and have done what is good in your sight. And Hezekiah wept greatly.
20:4 And it happened, before Isaiah had gone out into the middle part of the city, that the word of Jehovah came to him, saying, 20:5 Turn back and say to Hezekiah the ruler of my people, Jehovah says thus, 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 will go up to the house of Jehovah.
20:6 And I will add to your days fifteen years. And I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria. And I will defend this city for my own sake and for my servant David's sake. 20:7And Isaiah said, Take a cake of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil and he recovered.
20:8 And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, What will be the sign that Jehovah will heal me and that I will go up to the house of Jehovah the third day? 20:9 And Isaiah said, This will be the sign to you from Jehovah, that Jehovah will do the thing that he has spoken: Shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps? 20:10 And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing because the shadow to go forward ten steps. No, but let the shadow return backward ten steps. 20:11And Isaiah the prophet cried to Jehovah and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, by which it had gone down on the dial of Ahaz.
{2Ki 20:12-19; Isa 39:1-8} {Isa 40:1-44:5} {Isa 44:6-48:11} {Isa 48:12-52:12} {Isa 52:13-57:21} {Isa 58:1-63:14}
20:12 At that time Berodach-baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, because he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick. 20:13 And Hezekiah listened to them and showed 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 did not show them.
20:14 Then Isaiah the prophet came to king Hezekiah and said to him, What did these men say and from where did they come to you? And Hezekiah said, They have come from a far country, even from Babylon. 20:15 And he said, What have they seen in your house? And Hezekiah answered, They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.
20:16 And Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Hear the word of Jehovah. 20:17 Behold, the days come that all that is in your house and what your fathers have laid up in store to this day, will be carried to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says Jehovah. 20:18 And of your sons who will go forth from you, whom you will beget, they will take away. And they will be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
20:19 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, The word of Jehovah which you have spoken is good. He said moreover, Is it not so, if peace and truth will be in my days?

20:20 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, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?20:21 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers and Manasseh his son reigned instead of him.
