Contextual Overview

¹ At that time Hezekiah became very sick; he was almost dead. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to see him and told him, "This is what the Lord says: Make arrangements, because you are not going to live, but die." ² Hezekiah turned toward the wall and prayed to the Lord , ³ " Lord , please remember that I have always obeyed you. I have given myself completely to you and have done what you said was right." Then Hezekiah cried loudly. ⁴ Then the Lord spoke his word to Isaiah: ⁵ "Go to Hezekiah and tell him: ‘This is what the Lord , the God of your ancestor David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears. So I will add fifteen years to your life. ⁶ I will save you and this city from the king of Assyria; I will defend this city. ⁷ "‘The Lord will do what he says. This is the sign from the Lord to show you: ⁸ The sun has made a shadow go down the stairway of Ahaz, but I will make it go back ten steps.'" So the shadow made by the sun went back up the ten steps it had gone down.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Then came the word of the Lord - In the parallel place in 2 Kings 20:4, it is said, ‘And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the Lord came unto him.’ That is, the message of God name to Isaiah before he had left Hezekiah; or as soon as he had offered his prayer. This circumstance is omitted by Isaiah on the revision of his narrative which we have before us. But there is no contradiction. In this place it is implied that the message came to him soon, or immediately.
