8 And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day 9 And Isaiah said This sign shalt thou have of the LORD that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken shall the shadow go forward ten degrees or go back ten degrees 10 And Hezekiah answered It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees nay but let the shadow return backward ten degrees 11 And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz
12 At that time Berodachbaladan the son of Baladan king of Babylon sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick 13 And Hezekiah hearkened unto them and shewed them all the house of his precious things the silver and the gold and the spices and the precious ointment and all the house of his armour and all that was found in his treasures there was nothing in his house nor in all his dominion that Hezekiah shewed them not 14 Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah and said unto him What said these men and from whence came they unto thee And Hezekiah said They are come from a far country even from Babylon 15 And he said What have they seen in thine house And Hezekiah answered All the things that are in mine house have they seen there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them
16 And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah Hear the word of the LORD 17 Behold the days come that all that is in thine house and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day shall be carried into Babylon nothing shall be left saith the LORD 18 And of thy sons that shall issue from thee which thou shalt beget shall they take away and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon 19 Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken And he said Is it not good if peace and truth be in my days
20 And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah and all his might and how he made a pool and a conduit and brought water into the city are they not written in the book of the chronicles __ of the kings of Judah 21 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead
