1So like, Hezekiah was super sick, about to kick the bucket. Isaiah, the prophet, rolled up and was like, "God's saying you gotta get your house in order, fam; you’re gonna die, no cap."

2Hezekiah turned to the wall and prayed to the Lord, like, "Help me out, please."

3He was like, "Yo, Lord, remember how I’ve been real with you and kept it 100? I’ve done good stuff in your eyes." And Hezekiah was crying hard, fr.

4Before Isaiah even made it out to the courtyard, God hit him up with a word, saying,

5"Yo, go back and tell Hezekiah, my dude, that I heard your prayer and saw your tears. I got you—gonna heal you, and on the third day, you’ll roll up to my house."

6"I’m adding fifteen years to your life; I’ll save you and the city from the Assyrian king. I got your back for my own reason and for David’s sake, periodt."

7Isaiah was like, "Grab some figs." They put them on his boil, and he bounced back.

8Hezekiah asked Isaiah, "What’s the sign that I’ll be healed and hit up the Lord’s house on day three?"

9Isaiah replied, "You’ll get a sign from the Lord: Do you want the shadow to move forward ten degrees or back ten degrees?"

10Hezekiah said, "That’s easy for the shadow to go down ten degrees; nah, let it go back ten degrees instead."

11Isaiah prayed to the Lord, and boom, the shadow moved back ten degrees like it had dipped on Ahaz’s dial.

12Meanwhile, Berodach–baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and gifts to Hezekiah since he heard he was sick.

13Hezekiah was chill with them and showed off all his stuff—silver, gold, spices, and his sick armor. He flexed everything he had.

14Then Isaiah came to Hezekiah and asked, "What did those guys say? Where are they from?" Hezekiah was like, "They’re from way over in Babylon."

15"And what did they see in your crib?" Hezekiah replied, "They saw everything in my place; I didn’t hide anything."

16Isaiah told Hezekiah, "Listen up to the Lord’s word."

17"The days are coming when everything in your house and what your ancestors saved will be taken to Babylon; nothing will be left, says the Lord."

18"And your future kids? They’ll be taken away and become eunuchs in the Babylon king's palace."

19Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "The Lord’s word is good." He added, "Isn’t it cool if I get peace and truth during my time?"

20"And all the other cool things Hezekiah did, like making a pool and bringing water to the city, aren’t they in the chronicles of Judah’s kings?"

21Hezekiah passed away and joined his ancestors, and his son Manasseh took over as king.

1In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.

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

3I beseech thee, O Lord, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.

4And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the Lord came to him, saying,

5Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the Lord.

6And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.

7And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.

8And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the Lord the third day?

9And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the Lord, that the Lord will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?

10And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees.

11And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the Lord: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz.

12At that time Berodach–baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah: for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.

13And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not.

14Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country, even from Babylon.

15And he said, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All the things that are in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.

16And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the Lord.

17Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the Lord.

18And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.

19Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which thou hast spoken. And he said, Is it not good, if peace and truth be in my days?

20And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made a pool, and a conduit, and brought water into the city, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

21And Hezekiah slept with his fathers: and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
