Hezekiah's Illness and Recovery

1

 aIn thoseh1992a daysh3117 Hezekiahh2396 becameh2470a  1mortallyh4191 illh2470a. And Isaiahh3470b the propheth5030 the sonh1121 of Amozh531 cameh935 to him and saidh559 to him, "Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, ` bSeth6680 your househ1004 in orderh6680, for you shall dieh4191 and not liveh2421a.' "

2

Then he turnedh5437 his faceh6440 to the wallh7023 and prayedh6419 to the LORDh3068, sayingh559,

3

aRememberh2142 nowh4994, Oh577 LORDh3068, I beseechh577 You,  bhowh834 I have walkedh1980 beforeh6440 You in truthh571 and with a wholeh8003 hearth3824 and have doneh6213a whath2896a is goodh2896a in Your sighth5869." And  cHezekiahh2396 wepth1058  1bitterlyh1419h1065.

4

Beforeh3808 Isaiahh3470b had goneh3318 out of the middleh8484 courth2691a, the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 to him, sayingh559,

5

"Returnh7725 and sayh559 to  aHezekiahh2396 the leaderh5057 of My peopleh5971a, `Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, the Godh430 of your fatherh1 Davidh1732, " bI have heardh8085 your prayerh8605,  cI have seenh7200 your tearsh1832; beholdh2009, I will healh7495 you. On the thirdh7992 dayh3117 you shall goh5927 up to the househ1004 of the LORDh3068.

6

"I will addh3254 fifteenh2568h6240 yearsh8141 to your  1lifeh3117, and I will deliverh5337 you and thish2088 cityh5892b from the handh3709 of the kingh4428 of Assyriah804b; and  aI will defendh1598 thish2088 cityh5892b for My own sakeh4616 and for My servanth5650 David'sh1732 sakeh4616.""'

7

Then Isaiahh3470b saidh559, "Takeh3947 a cakeh1690 of figsh8384." And they tookh3947 and laidh7760 it on the boilh7822, and he recoveredh2421a.

8

Now Hezekiahh2396 saidh559 to Isaiahh3470b, "Whath4100 will be the signh226 that the LORDh3068 will healh7495 me, and that I shall goh5927 up to the househ1004 of the LORDh3068 the thirdh7992 dayh3117?"

9

Isaiahh3470b saidh559, " aThish2088 shall be the signh226 to you from the LORDh3068, that the LORDh3068 will doh6213a the thingh1697 that He has spokenh1696: shall the shadowh6738 goh1980 forward tenh6235 stepsh4609b orh518 goh7725 backh7725 tenh6235 stepsh4609b?"

10

So Hezekiahh2396  1answeredh559, "It is easyh7043 for the shadowh6738 to declineh5186 tenh6235 stepsh4609b; noh3808, but let the shadowh6738 turnh7725 backwardh322 tenh6235 stepsh4609b."

11

Isaiahh3470b the propheth5030 criedh7121 to the LORDh3068, and  aHe broughth7725 the shadowh6738 on the  1stairwayh4609b backh322 tenh6235 stepsh4609b by whichh834 it had goneh3381 downh3381 on the  1stairwayh4609b of Ahazh271.

Hezekiah Shows Babylon His Treasures

12

 aAt that timeh6256  1Berodach-baladanh1255 a sonh1121 of Baladanh1081, kingh4428 of Babylonh894, senth7971 lettersh5612 and a presenth4503 to Hezekiahh2396, for he heardh8085 that Hezekiahh2396 had beenh2470a sickh2470a.

13

Hezekiahh2396 listenedh8085 to them, and showedh7200 them  aallh3605 his treasureh5238 househ1004, the silverh3701 and the goldh2091 and the spicesh1314 and the precioush2896a oilh8081 and the househ1004 of his armorh3627 and allh3605 that was foundh4672 in his treasuriesh214. There was nothingh3808h1697 in his househ1004 norh3808 in allh3605 his dominionh4475 that Hezekiahh2396 did not showh7200 them.

14

Then Isaiahh3470b the propheth5030 cameh935 to Kingh4428 Hezekiahh2396 and saidh559 to him, "Whath4100 did theseh428 menh376 sayh559, and from whereh370 have they comeh935 to you?" And Hezekiahh2396 saidh559, "They have comeh935 from a farh7350 countryh776, from Babylonh894."

15

He saidh559, "Whath4100 have they seenh7200 in your househ1004?" So Hezekiahh2396  1answeredh559, "They have seenh7200 allh3605 that is in my househ1004; there is nothingh3808h1697 among my treasuriesh214 that I have not shownh7200 them."

16

Then Isaiahh3470b saidh559 to Hezekiahh2396, "Hearh8085 the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068.

17

`Beholdh2009, the daysh3117 are comingh935 when  aallh3605 that is in your househ1004, and all that your fathersh1 have laidh686 up in storeh686 to thish2088 dayh3117 will be carriedh5375 to Babylonh894; nothingh3808h1697 shall be lefth3498,' saysh559 the LORDh3068.

18

`Someh4480  aof your sonsh1121 whoh834 shall issueh3318 from you, whomh834 you will begeth3205, will be takenh3947 away; and they will becomeh1961  bofficialsh5631 in the palaceh1964 of the kingh4428 of Babylonh894.' "

19

Then Hezekiahh2396 saidh559 to Isaiahh3470b, "The wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 whichh834 you have spokenh1696 is  agoodh2896a." For he  1thoughth559, "Is it not so, ifh518 there will be peaceh7965 and truthh571 in my daysh3117?"

20

 aNow the resth3499a of the actsh1697 of Hezekiahh2396 and allh3605 his mighth1369, and howh834 he  bmadeh6213a the poolh1295 and the conduith8585a and broughth935 waterh4325 into the cityh5892b, are they not writtenh3789 in the Bookh5612 of the Chroniclesh1697h3117 of the Kingsh4428 of Judahh3063?

21

 aSo Hezekiahh2396 slepth7901 with his fathersh1, and Manassehh4519 his sonh1121 becameh4427a kingh4427a in his placeh8478.
