20:1 In those days 3117 was Hezekiah 2396 sick 2470 8804 unto death 4191 8800. And the prophet 5030 Isaiah 3470 the son 1121 of Amoz 531 came 935 8799 to him, and said 559 8799 unto him, Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068, Set thine house 1004 in order 6680 8761; for thou shalt die 4191 8801, and not live 2421 8799.(Set…: Heb. Give charge concerning thine house)

20:2 Then he turned 5437 8686 his face 6440 to the wall 7023, and prayed 6419 8691 unto the LORD 3068, saying 559 8800,

20:3 I beseech 577 thee, O LORD 3068, remember 2142 8798 now how I have walked 1980 8694 before 6440 thee in truth 571 and with a perfect 8003 heart 3824, and have done 6213 8804 [that which is] good 2896 in thy sight 5869. And Hezekiah 2396 wept 1058 8799 1065 sore 1419.(sore: Heb. with a great weeping)

20:4 And it came to pass, afore Isaiah 3470 was gone out 3318 8804 into the middle 8484 court 2691 8675 5892, that the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came to him, saying 559 8800,(court: or, city)

20:5 Turn again 7725 8798, and tell 559 8804 Hezekiah 2396 the captain 5057 of my people 5971, Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068, the God 430 of David 1732 thy father 1, I have heard 8085 8804 thy prayer 8605, I have seen 7200 8804 thy tears 1832: behold, I will heal 7495 8802 thee: on the third 7992 day 3117 thou shalt go up 5927 8799 unto the house 1004 of the LORD 3068.

20:6 And I will add 3254 8689 unto thy days 3117 fifteen 2568 6240 years 8141; and I will deliver 5337 8686 thee and this city 5892 out of the hand 3709 of the king 4428 of Assyria 804; and I will defend 1598 8804 this city 5892 for mine own sake, and for my servant 5650 David's 1732 sake.

20:7 And Isaiah 3470 said 559 8799, Take 3947 8798 a lump 1690 of figs 8384. And they took 3947 8799 and laid 7760 8799 [it] on the boil 7822, and he recovered 2421 8799.

20:8 And Hezekiah 2396 said 559 8799 unto Isaiah 3470, What [shall be] the sign 226 that the LORD 3068 will heal 7495 8799 me, and that I shall go up 5927 8804 into the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 the third 7992 day 3117?

20:9 And Isaiah 3470 said 559 8799, This sign 226 shalt thou have of the LORD 3068, that the LORD 3068 will do 6213 8799 the thing 1697 that he hath spoken 1696 8765: shall the shadow 6738 go forward 1980 8804 ten 6235 degrees 4609, or go back 7725 8799 ten 6235 degrees 4609?

20:10 And Hezekiah 3169 answered 559 8799, It is a light thing 7043 8738 for the shadow 6738 to go down 5186 8800 ten 6235 degrees 4609: nay, but let the shadow 6738 return 7725 8799 backward 322 ten 6235 degrees 4609.

20:11 And Isaiah 3470 the prophet 5030 cried 7121 8799 unto the LORD 3068: and he brought 7725 8686 the shadow 6738 ten 6235 degrees 4609 backward 322, by 4609 which it had gone down 3381 8804 in the dial 4609 of Ahaz 271.(dial: Heb. degrees)

20:12 At that time 6256 Berodachbaladan 1255, the son 1121 of Baladan 1081, king 4428 of Babylon 894, sent 7971 8804 letters 5612 and a present 4503 unto Hezekiah 2396: for he had heard 8085 8804 that Hezekiah 2396 had been sick 2470 8804.(Berodachbaladan: or, Merodachbaladan)

20:13 And Hezekiah 2396 hearkened 8085 8799 unto them, and shewed 7200 8686 them all the house 1004 of his precious things 5238, the silver 3701, and the gold 2091, and the spices 1314, and the precious 2896 ointment 8081, and [all] the house 1004 of his armour 3627, and all that was found 4672 8738 in his treasures 214: there was nothing 1697 in his house 1004, nor in all his dominion 4475, that Hezekiah 2396 shewed 7200 8689 them not.(precious things: or, spicery)(armour: or, jewels: Heb. vessels)

20:14 Then came 935 8799 Isaiah 3470 the prophet 5030 unto king 4428 Hezekiah 2396, and said 559 8799 unto him, What said 559 8804 these men 582? and from whence 370 came 935 8799 they unto thee? And Hezekiah 2396 said 559 8799, They are come 935 8804 from a far 7350 country 776, [even] from Babylon 894.

20:15 And he said 559 8799, What have they seen 7200 8804 in thine house 1004? And Hezekiah 2396 answered 559 8799, All [the things] that [are] in mine house 1004 have they seen 7200 8804: there is nothing 1697 among my treasures 214 that I have not shewed 7200 8689 them.

20:16 And Isaiah 3470 said 559 8799 unto Hezekiah 2396, Hear 8085 8798 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068.

20:17 Behold, the days 3117 come 935 8802, that all that [is] in thine house 1004, and that which thy fathers 1 have laid up in store 686 8804 unto this day 3117, shall be carried 5375 8738 into Babylon 894: nothing 1697 shall be left 3498 8735, saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068.

20:18 And of thy sons 1121 that shall issue 3318 8799 from thee, which thou shalt beget 3205 8686, shall they take away 3947 8799; and they shall be eunuchs 5631 in the palace 1964 of the king 4428 of Babylon 894.

20:19 Then said 559 8799 Hezekiah 2396 unto Isaiah 3470, Good 2896 [is] the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 which thou hast spoken 1696 8765. And he said 559 8799, [Is it] not [good], if peace 7965 and truth 571 be in my days 3117?(Is it…: or, Shall there not be peace and truth, etc)

20:20 And the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Hezekiah 2396, and all his might 1369, and how he made 6213 8804 a pool 1295, and a conduit 8585, and brought 935 8686 water 4325 into the city 5892, [are] they not written 3789 8803 in the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Judah 3063?

20:21 And Hezekiah 2396 slept 7901 8799 with his fathers 1: and Manasseh 4519 his son 1121 reigned 4427 8799 in his stead.
