In those days This phrase sets the historical context for the events that follow. "In those days" refers to a specific period during the reign of King Hezekiah, a time marked by both political turmoil and spiritual renewal in Judah. Hezekiah was known for his faithfulness to God, as he worked to remove idolatry from the land and restore proper worship. The phrase suggests a time of significant events, both in the life of Hezekiah and the nation of Judah. Historically, this period was fraught with threats from the Assyrian Empire, which adds urgency to the narrative. Hezekiah became mortally ill The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz came to him and said This is what the LORD says Put your house in order for you are about to die you will not recover Set thine house in order.--The margin is right (Comp. 2Samuel 17:23.) . . . Verse 1. - In those days. This is a very vague note of time, and cannot be regarded as determining the position of the events here related with respect to the preceding narrative. Ver. 6, however, shows that a time anterior to Sennacherib's discomfiture is intended; and the same verse also fixes the date to Hezekiah's fourteenth year, which was B.C. 713. If the date in 2 Kings 18:13 be regarded as genuine, we must consider that the illness happened in the year of Sennacherib's first expedition against Palestine; but if we regard that date as interpolated, and accept the Assyrian inscriptions as our chronological authorities, we must place the events of the present chapter twelve years earlier than that expedition, in the reign of Sargon over Assyria, and in the first reign of Merodach-Baladan over Babylon. It belongs, at any rate, to the middle part of Hezekiah's reign, while his treasures were intact (vers. 13-17), and had not been carried off to Nineveh. Was Hezekiah sick unto death; stricken, i.e., by a malady which, in the ordinary course of nature, would have been fatal. And the Prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him. The designation of Isaiah as "the prophet," and" the son of Amoz," as if previously unknown to the reader, indicates the original independency of the narrative, which the writer of Kings probably obtained from a separate source. And said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live. The statement was a warning, not a prophecy.
