2 Kings 20 (ESV) English Standard Version

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.'"
2 Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD, saying,
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.
4 And before Isaiah had gone out of the middle court, the word of the LORD came to him:
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,
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."
7 And Isaiah said, "Bring a cake of figs. And let them take and lay it on the boil, that he may recover."
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?"
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?"
10 And Hezekiah answered, "It is an easy thing for the shadow to lengthen ten steps. Rather let the shadow go back ten steps."
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.
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.
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.
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."
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."
16 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, "Hear the word of the LORD:
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.
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."
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 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?
21 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and Manasseh his son reigned in his place.
1 In those H1992 days H3117 was Hezekiah sick H2470 H2396 unto death. H4191 And the prophet H5030 Isaiah H3470 the son H1121 of Amoz H531 came H935 to H413 him , and said H559 unto H413 him, Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD, H3068 Set thine house in order H6680 H1004 ; for H3588 thou H859 shalt die, H4191 and not H3808 live. H2421
2 Then he turned H5437 H853 his face H6440 to H413 the wall, H7023 and prayed H6419 unto H413 the LORD, H3068 saying, H559
3 I beseech thee, H577 O LORD, H3068 remember H2142 now H4994 H853 how H834 I have walked H1980 before H6440 thee in truth H571 and with a perfect H8003 heart, H3824 and have done H6213 that which is good H2896 in thy sight. H5869 And Hezekiah H2396 wept H1058 sore H1065 H1419 .
4 And it came to pass, H1961 before H3808 Isaiah H3470 was gone out H3318 into the middle H8484 court, H2691 that the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 to H413 him, saying, H559
5 Turn again, H7725 and tell H559 H413 Hezekiah H2396 the captain H5057 of my people, H5971 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD, H3068 the God H430 of David H1732 thy father, H1 I have heard H8085 H853 thy prayer, H8605 I have seen H7200 H853 thy tears: H1832 behold, H2009 I will heal H7495 thee : on the third H7992 day H3117 thou shalt go up H5927 unto the house H1004 of the LORD. H3068
6 And I will add H3254 unto H5921 thy days H3117 fifteen H2568 H6240 years; H8141 and I will deliver H5337 thee and this H2063 city H5892 out of the hand H4480 H3709 of the king H4428 of Assyria; H804 and I will defend H1598 H5921 this H2063 city H5892 for mine own sake, H4616 and for my servant H5650 David's H1732 sake. H4616
7 And Isaiah H3470 said, H559 Take H3947 a lump H1690 of figs. H8384 And they took H3947 and laid H7760 it on H5921 the boil, H7822 and he recovered. H2421
8 And Hezekiah H2396 said H559 unto H413 Isaiah, H3470 What H4100 shall be the sign H226 that H3588 the LORD H3068 will heal H7495 me , and that I shall go up H5927 into the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 the third H7992 day H3117 ?
9 And Isaiah H3470 said, H559 This H2088 sign H226 shalt thou have of H4480 H854 the LORD, H3068 that H3588 the LORD H3068 will do H6213 H853 the thing H1697 that H834 he hath spoken: H1696 shall the shadow H6738 go forward H1980 ten H6235 degrees, H4609 or H518 go back H7725 ten H6235 degrees H4609 ?
10 And Hezekiah H3169 answered, H559 It is a light thing H7043 for the shadow H6738 to go down H5186 ten H6235 degrees: H4609 nay, H3808 but H3588 let the shadow H6738 return H7725 backward H322 ten H6235 degrees. H4609
11 And Isaiah H3470 the prophet H5030 cried H7121 unto H413 the LORD: H3068 and he brought H7725 H853 the shadow H6738 ten H6235 degrees H4609 backward, H322 by which H834 it had gone down H3381 in the dial H4609 of Ahaz. H271
12 At that H1931 time H6256 Berodach- H1255 baladan , the son H1121 of Baladan, H1081 king H4428 of Babylon, H894 sent H7971 letters H5612 and a present H4503 unto H413 Hezekiah: H2396 for H3588 he had heard H8085 that H3588 Hezekiah H2396 had been sick. H2470
13 And Hezekiah H2396 hearkened H8085 unto H5921 them , and showed H7200 them H853 all H3605 the house H1004 of his precious things, H5238 H853 the silver, H3701 and the gold, H2091 and the spices, H1314 and the precious H2896 ointment, H8081 and all the house H1004 of his armor, H3627 and all H3605 that H834 was found H4672 in his treasures: H214 there was H1961 nothing H3808 H1697 in his house, H1004 nor in all H3605 his dominion, H4475 that H834 Hezekiah H2396 showed H7200 them not. H3808
14 Then came H935 Isaiah H3470 the prophet H5030 unto H413 king H4428 Hezekiah, H2396 and said H559 unto H413 him, What H4100 said H559 these H428 men H376 ? and from whence H4480 H370 came H935 they unto H413 thee? And Hezekiah H2396 said, H559 They are come H935 from a far country H4480 H776, H7350 even from Babylon H4480. H894
15 And he said, H559 What H4100 have they seen H7200 in thine house H1004 ? And Hezekiah H2396 answered, H559 H853 All H3605 the things that H834 are in mine house H1004 have they seen: H7200 there is H1961 nothing H3808 H1697 among my treasures H214 that H834 I have not H3808 showed H7200 them.
16 And Isaiah H3470 said H559 unto H413 Hezekiah, H2396 Hear H8085 the word H1697 of the LORD. H3068
17 Behold H2009 , the days H3117 come, H935 that all H3605 that H834 is in thine house, H1004 and that which H834 thy fathers H1 have laid up in store H686 unto H5704 this H2088 day, H3117 shall be carried H5375 into Babylon: H894 nothing H3808 H1697 shall be left, H3498 saith H559 the LORD. H3068
18 And of thy sons H4480 H1121 that H834 shall issue H3318 from H4480 thee, which H834 thou shalt beget, H3205 shall they take away; H3947 and they shall be H1961 eunuchs H5631 in the palace H1964 of the king H4428 of Babylon. H894
19 Then said H559 Hezekiah H2396 unto H413 Isaiah, H3470 Good H2896 is the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 which H834 thou hast spoken. H1696 And he said, H559 Is it not H3808 good , if H518 peace H7965 and truth H571 be H1961 in my days H3117 ?
20 And the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Hezekiah, H2396 and all H3605 his might, H1369 and how H834 he made H6213 H853 a pool, H1295 and a conduit, H8585 and brought H935 H853 water H4325 into the city, H5892 are they H1992 not H3808 written H3789 in H5921 the book H5612 of the chronicles H1697 H3117 of the kings H4428 of Judah H3063 ?
21 And Hezekiah H2396 slept H7901 with H5973 his fathers: H1 and Manasseh H4519 his son H1121 reigned H4427 in his stead. H8478
