2Ki 20:3

2Ki 20:3Remember 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. Hizkiyahu wept sore.

2Ki 20:4

2Ki 20:4It happened, before Yesha`yahu was gone out into the middle part of the city, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying,

2Ki 20:5

2Ki 20:5Turn back, and tell Hizkiyahu the prince 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.

2Ki 20:6

2Ki 20:6I will add to your days fifteen years; and I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Ashshur; and I will defend this city for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

2Ki 20:7

2Ki 20:7Yesha`yahu said, Take a cake of figs. They took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.

2Ki 20:8

2Ki 20:8Hizkiyahu said to Yesha`yahu, 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?

2Ki 20:9

2Ki 20:9Yesha`yahu 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?

2Ki 20:10

2Ki 20:10Hizkiyahu answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to decline ten steps: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten steps.

2Ki 20:11

2Ki 20:11Yesha`yahu the prophet cried to the LORD; and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, by which it had gone down on the dial of Achaz.
