2 Kings 20

20:1

In those days
<03117>

was Hezekiah
<02396>

sick
<02470> (8804)

unto death
<04191> (8800)_.

And the prophet
<05030>

Isaiah
<03470>

the son
<01121>

of Amoz
<0531>

came
<0935> (8799)

to him, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Set thine house
<01004>

in order
<06680> (8761)_;

for thou shalt die
<04191> (8801)_,

and not live
<02421> (8799)_.

{Set...: Heb. Give charge concerning thine house}

20:2

Then he turned
<05437> (8686)

his face
<06440>

to the wall
<07023>_,

and prayed
<06419> (8691)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

20:3

I beseech
<0577>

thee, O LORD
<03068>_,

remember
<02142> (8798)

now how I have walked
<01980> (8694)

before
<06440>

thee in truth
<0571>

and with a perfect
<08003>

heart
<03824>_,

and have done
<06213> (8804)

[that which is] good
<02896>

in thy sight
<05869>_.

And Hezekiah
<02396>

wept
<01058> (8799) <01065>

sore
<01419>_.

{sore: Heb. with a great weeping}

20:4

And it came to pass, afore Isaiah
<03470>

was gone out
<03318> (8804)

into the middle
<08484>

court
<02691> (8675) <05892>_,

that the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came to him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

{court: or, city}

20:5

Turn again
<07725> (8798)_,

and tell
<0559> (8804)

Hezekiah
<02396>

the captain
<05057>

of my people
<05971>_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

the God
<0430>

of David
<01732>

thy father
<01>_,

I have heard
<08085> (8804)

thy prayer
<08605>_,

I have seen
<07200> (8804)

thy tears
<01832>_:

behold, I will heal
<07495> (8802)

thee: on the third
<07992>

day
<03117>

thou shalt go up
<05927> (8799)

unto the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

20:6

And I will add
<03254> (8689)

unto thy days
<03117>

fifteen
<02568> <06240>

years
<08141>_;

and I will deliver
<05337> (8686)

thee and this city
<05892>

out of the hand
<03709>

of the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_;

and I will defend
<01598> (8804)

this city
<05892>

for mine own sake, and for my servant
<05650>

David's
<01732>

sake.

20:7

And Isaiah
<03470>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Take
<03947> (8798)

a lump
<01690>

of figs
<08384>_.

And they took
<03947> (8799)

and laid
<07760> (8799)

[it] on the boil
<07822>_,

and he recovered
<02421> (8799)_.

20:8

And Hezekiah
<02396>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Isaiah
<03470>_,

What [shall be] the sign
<0226>

that the LORD
<03068>

will heal
<07495> (8799)

me, and that I shall go up
<05927> (8804)

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

the third
<07992>

day
<03117>_?

20:9

And Isaiah
<03470>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

This sign
<0226>

shalt thou have of the LORD
<03068>_,

that the LORD
<03068>

will do
<06213> (8799)

the thing
<01697>

that he hath spoken
<01696> (8765)_:

shall the shadow
<06738>

go forward
<01980> (8804)

ten
<06235>

degrees
<04609>_,

or go back
<07725> (8799)

ten
<06235>

degrees
<04609>_?

20:10

And Hezekiah
<03169>

answered
<0559> (8799)_,

It is a light thing
<07043> (8738)

for the shadow
<06738>

to go down
<05186> (8800)

ten
<06235>

degrees
<04609>_:

nay, but let the shadow
<06738>

return
<07725> (8799)

backward
<0322>

ten
<06235>

degrees
<04609>_.

20:11

And Isaiah
<03470>

the prophet
<05030>

cried
<07121> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>_:

and he brought
<07725> (8686)

the shadow
<06738>

ten
<06235>

degrees
<04609>

backward
<0322>_,

by
<04609>

which it had gone down
<03381> (8804)

in the dial
<04609>

of Ahaz
<0271>_.

{dial: Heb. degrees}

20:12

At that time
<06256>

Berodachbaladan
<01255>_,

the son
<01121>

of Baladan
<01081>_,

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

sent
<07971> (8804)

letters
<05612>

and a present
<04503>

unto Hezekiah
<02396>_:

for he had heard
<08085> (8804)

that Hezekiah
<02396>

had been sick
<02470> (8804)_.

{Berodachbaladan: or, Merodachbaladan}

20:13

And Hezekiah
<02396>

hearkened
<08085> (8799)

unto them, and shewed
<07200> (8686)

them all the house
<01004>

of his precious things
<05238>_,

the silver
<03701>_,

and the gold
<02091>_,

and the spices
<01314>_,

and the precious
<02896>

ointment
<08081>_,

and [all] the house
<01004>

of his armour
<03627>_,

and all that was found
<04672> (8738)

in his treasures
<0214>_:

there was nothing
<01697>

in his house
<01004>_,

nor in all his dominion
<04475>_,

that Hezekiah
<02396>

shewed
<07200> (8689)

them not. {precious things: or, spicery} {armour: or, jewels: Heb. vessels}

20:14

Then came
<0935> (8799)

Isaiah
<03470>

the prophet
<05030>

unto king
<04428>

Hezekiah
<02396>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, What said
<0559> (8804)

these men
<0582>_?

and from whence
<0370>

came
<0935> (8799)

they unto thee? And Hezekiah
<02396>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

They are come
<0935> (8804)

from a far
<07350>

country
<0776>_,

[even] from Babylon
<0894>_.

20:15

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

What have they seen
<07200> (8804)

in thine house
<01004>_?

And Hezekiah
<02396>

answered
<0559> (8799)_,

All [the things] that [are] in mine house
<01004>

have they seen
<07200> (8804)_:

there is nothing
<01697>

among my treasures
<0214>

that I have not shewed
<07200> (8689)

them.

20:16

And Isaiah
<03470>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Hezekiah
<02396>_,

Hear
<08085> (8798)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

20:17

Behold, the days
<03117>

come
<0935> (8802)_,

that all that [is] in thine house
<01004>_,

and that which thy fathers
<01>

have laid up in store
<0686> (8804)

unto this day
<03117>_,

shall be carried
<05375> (8738)

into Babylon
<0894>_:

nothing
<01697>

shall be left
<03498> (8735)_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_.

20:18

And of thy sons
<01121>

that shall issue
<03318> (8799)

from thee, which thou shalt beget
<03205> (8686)_,

shall they take away
<03947> (8799)_;

and they shall be eunuchs
<05631>

in the palace
<01964>

of the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_.

20:19

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Hezekiah
<02396>

unto Isaiah
<03470>_,

Good
<02896>

[is] the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

which thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Is it] not [good], if peace
<07965>

and truth
<0571>

be in my days
<03117>_?

{Is it...: or, Shall there not be peace and truth, etc}

20:20

And the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Hezekiah
<02396>_,

and all his might
<01369>_,

and how he made
<06213> (8804)

a pool
<01295>_,

and a conduit
<08585>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

water
<04325>

into the city
<05892>_,

[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_?

20:21

And Hezekiah
<02396>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_:

and Manasseh
<04519>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.
