Contextual Overview
1 At that time Hezekiah became sick and almost died. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to see him and told him, "The Lord says, ‘You will die soon, so you should tell your family what they should do when you die. You will not get well.'" 2 Hezekiah turned his face to the wall that faced the Temple and began praying to the Lord . 3 " Lord , remember that I have sincerely served you with all my heart. I have done what you say is good." Then Hezekiah cried very hard. 4 Before Isaiah had left the middle courtyard, he received this message from the Lord , 5 "Go back and speak to Hezekiah, the leader of my people. Tell him, ‘This is what the Lord , the God of your ancestor David, says: I heard your prayer and I saw your tears, so I will heal you. On the third day you will go up to the Temple of the Lord . 6 I will add 15 years to your life. I will save you and this city from the king of Assyria. I will protect this city. I will do this for myself and because of the promise I made to my servant David.'" 7 Then Isaiah said, "Crush figs together and put them on your sore; you will get well." So they took the mixture of figs and put it on Hezekiah's sore place, and he got well. 8 Hezekiah asked Isaiah, "What will be the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I will go up to the Temple of the Lord on the third day?" 9 Isaiah said, "Which do you want? Should the shadow go forward ten steps or go back ten steps? This is the sign for you from the Lord to show that the Lord will do what he said he would do." 10 Hezekiah answered, "It is an easy thing for the shadow to go down ten steps. No, make the shadow go back ten steps."
