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,
