  Or, as the Hebrew might be rendered, "the steps of Ahaz."  The
  researches of curious travellers in Hindostan, observes Bp.
  Stock, have lately discovered in that country, three
  observatories of similar form, the most remarkable of which is
  to be seen within four miles of Delhi, the ancient capital of
  the Mogul empire.  A rectangled triangle, whose hypotenuse is
  a staircase, (apparently parallel to the axis of the earth,)
  bisects a zone, or coping of a wall, which wall connects the
  two terminating towers at right and left.  The coping itself
  is of a circular form, and accurately graduated, to mark, by
  the gnomon above, the sun's progress before and after noon.

   * De 32:39 1Sa 2:6 Job 5:18 Ho 6:1,2
  We have here Hezekiah's thanksgiving song, which he penned by
  Divine direction, after his recovery.  He might have used some
  of the Psalms of David his father, as he had appointed the
  Levites to praise the Lord with the words of David, 2 Ch
  30 29:30, but the occasion here was extraordinary.  His heart
  being full of devout affections, he would not confine himself
  to the compositions he had, though of Divine inspiration, but
  offered up his praises in his own words.  The Lord put a new
  song into his mouth.  He put his thanksgiving into writing,
  that he might review it himself afterwards, for the reviving
  of the good impressions made upon him by the providential
  interference, and that it might be recommended to others also
  for their use upon the like occasion.
