Isaiah 38:4

2 Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the Lord,

3 and said, ^a“Remember now, O Lord, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a¹ loyal heart, and have done what is good in Your ^bsight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

4 And the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, saying,

5 “Go and tell Hezekiah, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father: “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will add to your days fifteen years.

6 I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria, and ^aI will defend this city.” ’

Isaiah 38:4

Then came the word of the Lord - In the parallel place in II Kings 20:4, it is said, ' And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the Lord came unto him.' That is, the message of God name to Isaiah before he had left Hezekiah; or as soon as he had offered his prayer. This circumstance is omitted by Isaiah on the revision of his narrative which we have before us. But there is no contradiction. In this place it is implied that the message came to him soon, or immediately.
