1. About this time, Hezekiah got sick and was almost dead. So I went in and told him, “The Lord says you won't ever get well. You are going to die, and so you had better start doing what needs to be done.”
2. Hezekiah turned towards the wall and prayed,
3. “Don't forget that I have been faithful to you, Lord. I have obeyed you with all my heart, and I do whatever you say is right.” After this, he cried hard.
4. Then the Lord sent me
5. with this message for Hezekiah:I am the Lord God, who was worshipped by your ancestor David. I heard you pray, and I saw you cry. I will let you live fifteen years more,
6. while I protect you and your city from the king of Assyria.
