2 Kings 20

1 Hezekiah, having received a message of death, by prayer hath his life lengthened. 8 The sun goeth ten degrees backward for a sign of that promise. 12 Berodach-baladan, sending to visit Hezekiah because of the wonder, hath notice of his treasures. 14 Isaiah understanding thereof foretelleth the Babylonian captivity. 20 Manasseh succeedeth Hezekiah.

 20:1 In those 1992a days 3117 Hezekiah 2396 became 2470a mortally 4191 ill 2470a. And Isaiah 3470b the prophet 5030 the son 1121 of Amoz 531 came 935 to him and said 559 to him, “Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, ‘Set 6680 your house 1004 in order 6680, for you shall die 4191 and not live 2421a.’”

 20:2 Then he turned 5437 his face 6440 to the wall 7023 and prayed 6419 to the LORD 3068, saying 559,

 20:3 “Remember 2142 now 4994, O 577 LORD 3068, I beseech 577 You, how 834 I have walked 1980 before 6440 You in truth 571 and with a whole 8003 heart 3824 and have done 6213a what 2896a is good 2896a in Your sight 5869.” And Hezekiah 2396 wept 1058 bitterly 1419 1065.

 20:4 Before 3808 Isaiah 3470b had gone 3318 out of the middle 8484 court 2691a, the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to him, saying 559,

 20:5 “Return 7725 and say 559 to Hezekiah 2396 the leader 5057 of My people 5971a, ‘Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, the God 430 of your father 1 David 1732, “I have heard 8085 your prayer 8605, I have seen 7200 your tears 1832; behold 2009, I will heal 7495 you. On the third 7992 day 3117 you shall go 5927 up to the house 1004 of the LORD 3068.

 20:6 “I will add 3254 fifteen 2568 6240 years 8141 to your life 3117, and I will deliver 5337 you and this 2088 city 5892b from the hand 3709 of the king 4428 of Assyria 804b; and I will defend 1598 this 2088 city 5892b for My own sake 4616 and for My servant 5650 David’s 1732 sake 4616.”’”

 20:7 Then Isaiah 3470b said 559, “Take 3947 a cake 1690 of figs 8384.” And they took 3947 and laid 7760 [it] on the boil 7822, and he recovered 2421a.

 20:8 ¶ Now Hezekiah 2396 said 559 to Isaiah 3470b, “What 4100 will be the sign 226 that the LORD 3068 will heal 7495 me, and that I shall go 5927 up to the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 the third 7992 day 3117?”

 20:9 Isaiah 3470b said 559, “This 2088 shall be the sign 226 to you from the LORD 3068, that the LORD 3068 will do 6213a the thing 1697 that He has spoken 1696: shall the shadow 6738 go 1980 forward ten 6235 steps 4609b or 518 go 7725 back 7725 ten 6235 steps 4609b?”

 20:10 So Hezekiah 2396 answered 559, “It is easy 7043 for the shadow 6738 to decline 5186 ten 6235 steps 4609b; no 3808, but let the shadow 6738 turn 7725 backward 322 ten 6235 steps 4609b.”

 20:11 Isaiah 3470b the prophet 5030 cried 7121 to the LORD 3068, and He brought 7725 the shadow 6738 on the stairway 4609b back 322 ten 6235 steps 4609b by which 834 it had gone 3381 down 3381 on the stairway 4609b of Ahaz 271.

 20:12 ¶ At that time 6256 Berodach-baladan 1255 a son 1121 of Baladan 1081, king 4428 of Babylon 894, sent 7971 letters 5612 and a present 4503 to Hezekiah 2396, for he heard 8085 that Hezekiah 2396 had been 2470a sick 2470a.

 20:13 Hezekiah 2396 listened 8085 to them, and showed 7200 them all 3605 his treasure 5238 house 1004, the silver 3701 and the gold 2091 and the spices 1314 and the precious 2896a oil 8081 and the house 1004 of his armor 3627 and all 3605 that was found 4672 in his treasuries 214. There was nothing 3808 1697 in his house 1004 nor 3808 in all 3605 his dominion 4475 that Hezekiah 2396 did not show 7200 them.

 20:14 Then Isaiah 3470b the prophet 5030 came 935 to King 4428 Hezekiah 2396 and said 559 to him, “What 4100 did these 428 men 376 say 559, and from where 370 have they come 935 to you?” And Hezekiah 2396 said 559, “They have come 935 from a far 7350 country 776, from Babylon 894.”

 20:15 He said 559, “What 4100 have they seen 7200 in your house 1004?” So Hezekiah 2396 answered 559, “They have seen 7200 all 3605 that is in my house 1004; there is nothing 3808 1697 among my treasuries 214 that I have not shown 7200 them.”

 20:16 ¶ Then Isaiah 3470b said 559 to Hezekiah 2396, “Hear 8085 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068.

 20:17 ‘Behold 2009, the days 3117 are coming 935 when all 3605 that is in your house 1004, and all that your fathers 1 have laid 686 up in store 686 to this 2088 day 3117 will be carried 5375 to Babylon 894; nothing 3808 1697 shall be left 3498,’ says 559 the LORD 3068.

 20:18 ‘Some 4480 of your sons 1121 who 834 shall issue 3318 from you, whom 834 you will beget 3205, will be taken 3947 away; and they will become 1961 officials 5631 in the palace 1964 of the king 4428 of Babylon 894.’”

 20:19 Then Hezekiah 2396 said 559 to Isaiah 3470b, “The word 1697 of the LORD 3068 which 834 you have spoken 1696 is good 2896a.” For he thought 559, “Is it not so, if 518 there will be peace 7965 and truth 571 in my days 3117?”

 20:20 ¶ Now the rest 3499a of the acts 1697 of Hezekiah 2396 and all 3605 his might 1369, and how 834 he made 6213a the pool 1295 and the conduit 8585a and brought 935 water 4325 into the city 5892b, are they not written 3789 in the Book 5612 of the Chronicles 1697 3117 of the Kings 4428 of Judah 3063?

 20:21 So Hezekiah 2396 slept 7901 with his fathers 1, and Manasseh 4519 his son 1121 became 4427a king 4427a in his place 8478.
