Contextual Overview
1 About that time was Hezekia sicke vnto the death: And the prophete Isai the sonne of Amoz came to him, and sayde vnto him, Thus saith the Lord: Put thine houshold in an order, for thou shalt dye, and not lyue. 2 And Hezekia turned his face to the wal, and prayed vnto the Lord, saying. 3 I beseche the, O Lorde, remember now how I haue walked before thee in trueth and with a perfect heart, & haue done that whiche is good in thy sight. And Hezekia wept sore. 4 And it fortuned that afore Isai was gone out into the middle of the court, the word of the Lorde came to him, saying: 5 Turne againe, and tell Hezekia the captayne of my people, thus sayth the Lorde God of Dauid thy father: I haue hearde thy prayer, and seene thy teares, and beholde I will heale thee, so that on the thirde day thou shalt go vp into the house of the Lorde. 6 And I wil adde vnto thy dayes yet fifteene yeres, & I will deliuer thee & this citie out of the hand of ye king of Assyria, & will defende this citie, for myne owne sake, & for Dauid my seruauntes sake. 7 And Isai sayd: Take a lumpe of dried figges. And they toke and layed it on the sore, and he recouered. 8 And Hezekia sayde vnto Isai: What shalbe the signe that the Lorde will heale me, and that I shal go vp into the house of the Lorde the thirde day? 9 Isai aunswered: This signe shalt thou haue of the Lord, that the Lord will do that he hath spoken: Shall the shadowe go forwarde ten degrees? or go backe againe ten degrees? 10 Hezekia aunswered: It is a light thing for the shadowe to go downe ten degrees, I desire not [that:] but let the shadowe go backwarde ten degrees.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court,.... Of the king's palace, which is called the other court within the porch, 1 Kings 7:8 so it is according to the marginal reading, which we follow; but the textual reading is, "the middle city"; Jerusalem was divided into three parts, and this was the middle part Isaiah was entering into: but before he did, so it was,
[that] the word of the Lord came to him, saying; as follows.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The middle court - i. e., of the royal palace. This is preferable to the marginal reading.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 20:4. Into the middle court — ×צר hatstser, the court. This is the reading of the Masoretic Keri: ××¢×ר haair, "of the city," is the reading of the text, and of most MSS.; but the versions follow the Keri.
