20:1 In
those
days
Hezekiah
became
sick
and
was
at
the
point
of
death.
And
Isaiah
the
prophet
the
son
of
Amoz
came
to
him
and
said
to
him,
"Thus
says
the
LORD,
'Set
your
house
in
order,
for
you
shall
die;
you
shall
not
recover.'"
20:2 Then
Hezekiah
turned
his
face
to
the
wall
and
prayed
to
the
LORD,
saying,
20:3 "Now,
O
LORD,
please
remember
how
I
have
walked
before
you
in
faithfulness
and
with
a
whole
heart,
and
have
done
what
is
good
in
your
sight."
And
Hezekiah
wept
bitterly.
20:4 And
before
Isaiah
had
gone
out
of
the
middle
court,
the
word
of
the
LORD
came
to
him:
20:5 "Turn
back,
and
say
to
Hezekiah
the
leader
of
my
people,
Thus
says
the
LORD,
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
the
LORD,
20:6 and
I
will
add
fifteen
years
to
your
life.
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."
20:7 And
Isaiah
said,
"Bring
a
cake
of
figs.
And
let
them
take
and
lay
it
on
the
boil,
that
he
may
recover."
20:8 And
Hezekiah
said
to
Isaiah,
"What
shall
be
the
sign
that
the
LORD
will
heal
me,
and
that
I
shall
go
up
to
the
house
of
the
LORD
on
the
third
day"
20:9 And
Isaiah
said,
"This
shall
be
the
sign
to
you
from
the
LORD,
that
the
LORD
will
do
the
thing
that
he
has
promised:
shall
the
shadow
go
forward
ten
steps,
or
go
back
ten
steps"
20:10 And
Hezekiah
answered,
"It
is
an
easy
thing
for
the
shadow
to
lengthen
ten
steps.
Rather
let
the
shadow
go
back
ten
steps."
20:11 And
Isaiah
the
prophet
called
to
the
LORD,
and
he
brought
the
shadow
back
ten
steps,
by
which
it
had
gone
down
on
the
steps
of
Ahaz.
20:12 At
that
time
Merodach-baladan
the
son
of
Baladan,
king
of
Babylon,
sent
envoys
with
letters
and
a
present
to
Hezekiah,
for
he
heard
that
Hezekiah
had
been
sick.
20:13 And
Hezekiah
welcomed
them,
and
he
showed
them
all
his
treasure
house,
the
silver,
the
gold,
the
spices,
the
precious
oil,
his
armory,
all
that
was
found
in
his
storehouses.
There
was
nothing
in
his
house
or
in
all
his
realm
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,
from
Babylon."
20:15 He
said,
"What
have
they
seen
in
your
house"
And
Hezekiah
answered,
"They
have
seen
all
that
is
in
my
house;
there
is
nothing
in
my
storehouses
that
I
did
not
show
them."
20:16 Then
Isaiah
said
to
Hezekiah,
"Hear
the
word
of
the
LORD:
20:17 Behold,
the
days
are
coming,
when
all
that
is
in
your
house,
and
that
which
your
fathers
have
stored
up
till
this
day,
shall
be
carried
to
Babylon.
Nothing
shall
be
left,
says
the
LORD.
20:18 And
some
of
your
own
sons,
who
shall
be
born
to
you,
shall
be
taken
away,
and
they
shall
be
eunuchs
in
the
palace
of
the
king
of
Babylon."
20:19 Then
said
Hezekiah
to
Isaiah,
"The
word
of
the
LORD
that
you
have
spoken
is
good."
For
he
thought,
"Why
not,
if
there
will
be
peace
and
security
in
my
days"
20:20 The
rest
of
the
deeds
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
in
his
place.
