Hezekiah's Illness and Prayer for Life

Isaiah 38:1-8

In those days hath Hezekiah been sick unto death, and come in unto him doth Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, and saith unto him, `Thus said Jehovah: Give a charge to thy house, for thou art dying, and dost not live.'

And Hezekiah turneth round his face unto the wall, and prayeth unto Jehovah,

and saith, `I pray thee, O Jehovah, remember, I pray Thee, how I have walked habitually before Thee in truth, and with a perfect heart, and that which is good in thine eyes I have done;' and Hezekiah weepeth--a great weeping.

And a word of Jehovah is unto Isaiah, saying,

Go, and thou hast said to Hezekiah, Thus said Jehovah, God of David thy father, `I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tear, lo, I am adding to thy days fifteen years,

and out of the hand of the king of Asshur I deliver thee and this city, and have covered over this city.

And this is to thee the sign from Jehovah, that Jehovah doth this thing that He hath spoken.

Lo, I am bringing back the shadow of the degrees that it hath gone down on the degrees of Ahaz, by the sun, backward ten degrees:' and the sun turneth back ten degrees in the degrees that it had gone down.
