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.  ‡

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.” ’  ‡
