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, and not live.'" <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/20-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the LORD, saying, <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/20-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>"Remember now, LORD, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight." Hezekiah wept bitterly. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/20-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>It happened, before Isaiah had gone out of the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying, <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/20-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>"Turn back, and tell Hezekiah the prince of my people, 'Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father, "I have heard your prayer.

They took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/20-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>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 the third day?" <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/20-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Isaiah said, "This shall be the sign to you from the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he has spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps?" <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/20-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>Hezekiah answered, "It is a light thing for the shadow to go forward ten steps. Nay, but let the shadow return backward ten steps." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/20-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>Isaiah the prophet cried to the LORD; and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, by which it had gone down on the dial of Ahaz.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/20-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>At that time Marduk-Baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick, and had recovered. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/20-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>Hezekiah was delighted at this, and showed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah did not show them. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/20-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>Then Isaiah the prophet came to king Hezekiah, and said to him, "What did these men say? From where did they come to you?" Hezekiah said, "They have come from a far country, even from Babylon." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/20-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>He said, "What have they seen in your house?"
