2 Kings 20:4 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Kings 20:4

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

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

4 And it happened, before Isaiah had gone out into the middle court, that the word of the Lord came to him, saying,

5 “Return and tell Hezekiah ^athe leader of My people, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father: ^b“I have heard your prayer, I have seen ^cyour tears; surely I will heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord.

6 And I will add to your days fifteen years. I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria; and ^aI will defend this city for My own sake, and for the sake of My servant David.” ’ ”

7 Then ^aIsaiah said, “Take a lump of figs.” So they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.

8 And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, ^a“What is the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I shall go up to the house of the Lord the third day?”
