2 Kings 20:1-7 ▼

1 In those days Hezekiah became ill to the point of death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him and said to him, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Set your house in order, for you shall die and not live.’”

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

3 “Remember now, O Yahweh, I beseech You, how I have walked before You in truth and with a whole heart and have done what is good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept greatly.

4 Now it happened that Isaiah had not gone out of the middle court, and the word of Yahweh came to him, saying,

5 “Return and say to Hezekiah the ruler of My people, ‘Thus says Yahweh, the God of your father David, “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; behold, I will heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of Yahweh.

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

7 Then Isaiah said, “Take a cake of figs.” And they took and laid it on the boil, and he was restored to life.
