Isaiah 38:4 - Forerunner Commentary

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.” ’

7 And this is ^athe sign to you from the Lord, that the Lord will do this thing which He has spoken:

8 “Behold, I will bring the shadow on the sundial, which has gone down with the sun on the sundial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward.” So the sun returned ten degrees on the dial by which it had gone down.

9 This is the writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick and had recovered from his sickness:

10 I said,
“In the prime of my life
I shall go to the gates of Sheol;
I am deprived of the remainder of my years.”
