In this chapter, King Hezekiah became ill. Isaiah the prophet came and told him that he will die and he needs to put his affairs in order. Hezekiah did what he was great at, he immediately cried out to the Lord. He pleaded his case of obedience and faithfulness to the Lord, and he wept bitterly. Before Isaiah left the middle court, the word of the Lord came again to Isaiah, who went back and told him that the Lord would heal him, and that he was given 15 more years. The servants made a paste of figs, which Isaiah told them to do, and three days later he was healed. Hezekiah asked for a sign, and the Lord made the shadow go back ten steps on the stairway of Ahaz.
The last story had to do with and envoy from the king of Babylon came to check on King Hezekiah, and he was so enthralled with them that he showed them all his wealth and grandeur. When they left, Isaiah came and told them that since he showed them everything, there will be a day that Babylon comes and takes everything he showed them, plus they would take his descendants and they would become eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon. Unlike Hezekiah, he did not pray, he did not plead for the Lord, instead he said, "Good." He thought, "At least it won't be in my lifetime." The writer reminded us that one of the great achievements of Hezekiah is that he made a tunnel through a mountain in order to bring water to Jerusalem. Hezekiah died, and his son Manasseh succeeded him as king.
