2 Kings 20

Revised Webster's Bible

1In those daysH3117 was HezekiahH2396 sickH2470 and near deathH4191. And the prophetH5030 IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531 cameH935 to him, and saidH559 to him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Set thy houseH1004 in orderH6680; for thou shalt dieH4191, and not liveH2421.1 2Then he turnedH5437 his faceH6440 to the wallH7023, and prayedH6419 to the LORDH3068, sayingH559, 3I beseechH577 thee, O LORDH3068, rememberH2142 now how I have walkedH1980 beforeH6440 thee in truthH571 and with a perfectH8003 heartH3824, and have doneH6213 that which is goodH2896 in thy sightH5869. And HezekiahH2396 weptH1058H1065 grievouslyH1419.2 4And it came to pass, before IsaiahH3470 had gone outH3318 into the middleH8484 courtH2691H5892, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to him, sayingH559,3 5ReturnH7725, and tellH559 HezekiahH2396 the captainH5057 of my peopleH5971, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of DavidH1732 thy fatherH1, I have heardH8085 thy prayerH8605, I have seenH7200 thy tearsH1832: behold, I will healH7495 thee: on the thirdH7992 dayH3117 thou shalt go upH5927 to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. 6And I will addH3254 to thy daysH3117 fifteenH2568H6240 yearsH8141; and I will deliverH5337 thee and this cityH5892 out of the handH3709 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804; and I will defendH1598 this cityH5892 for my own sake, and for my servantH5650 David’sH1732 sake. 7And IsaiahH3470 saidH559, TakeH3947 a lumpH1690 of figsH8384. And they tookH3947 and laidH7760 it on the boilH7822, and he recoveredH2421. 8And HezekiahH2396 saidH559 to IsaiahH3470, What shall be the signH226 that the LORDH3068 will healH7495 me, and that I shall go upH5927 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 the thirdH7992 dayH3117? 9And IsaiahH3470 saidH559, This signH226 shalt thou have of the LORDH3068, that the LORDH3068 will doH6213 the thingH1697 that he hath spokenH1696: shall the shadowH6738 go forwardH1980 tenH6235 degreesH4609, or go backH7725 tenH6235 degreesH4609? 10And HezekiahH3169 answeredH559, It is a light thingH7043 for the shadowH6738 to go forwardH5186 tenH6235 degreesH4609: nay, but let the shadowH6738 returnH7725 backwardH322 tenH6235 degreesH4609. 11And IsaiahH3470 the prophetH5030 criedH7121 to the LORDH3068: and he broughtH7725 the shadowH6738 tenH6235 degreesH4609 backwardH322, byH4609 which it had gone downH3381 on the dialH4609 of AhazH271.4

12At that timeH6256 BerodachbaladanH1255, the sonH1121 of BaladanH1081, kingH4428 of BabylonH894, sentH7971 lettersH5612 and a presentH4503 to HezekiahH2396: for he had heardH8085 that HezekiahH2396 had been sickH2470.5 13And HezekiahH2396 hearkenedH8085 to them, and showedH7200 them all the houseH1004 of his precious thingsH5238, the silverH3701, and the goldH2091, and the spicesH1314, and the preciousH2896 ointmentH8081, and all the houseH1004 of his armourH3627, and all that was foundH4672 in his treasuriesH214: there was nothingH1697 in his houseH1004, nor in all his dominionH4475, that HezekiahH2396 showedH7200 them not.67 14Then cameH935 IsaiahH3470 the prophetH5030 to kingH4428 HezekiahH2396, and saidH559 to him, What saidH559 these menH582? and from whereH370 cameH935 they to thee? And HezekiahH2396 saidH559, They have comeH935 from a farH7350 countryH776, even from BabylonH894. 15And he saidH559, What have they seenH7200 in thy houseH1004? And HezekiahH2396 answeredH559, All the things that are in my houseH1004 have they seenH7200: there is nothingH1697 among my treasuresH214 that I have not shownH7200 them. 16And IsaiahH3470 saidH559 to HezekiahH2396, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068. 17Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, that all that is in thy houseH1004, and that which thy fathersH1 have laid up in storeH686 to this dayH3117, shall be carriedH5375 into BabylonH894: nothingH1697 shall be leftH3498, saithH559 the LORDH3068. 18And of thy sonsH1121 that shall issueH3318 from thee, which thou shalt begetH3205, shall they take awayH3947; and they shall be eunuchsH5631 in the palaceH1964 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894. 19Then saidH559 HezekiahH2396 to IsaiahH3470, GoodH2896 is the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 which thou hast spokenH1696. And he saidH559, Is it not good, if peaceH7965 and truthH571 shall be in my daysH3117?8 20And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of HezekiahH2396, and all his mightH1369, and how he madeH6213 a poolH1295, and a conduitH8585, and broughtH935 waterH4325 into the cityH5892, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697H3117 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063? 21And HezekiahH2396 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1: and ManassehH4519 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
