4 Kings Chapter 20
Ezechias being sick, is told by Isaias that he shall die; but praying to
God, he obtaineth longer life, and in confirmation thereof receiveth a
sign by the sun's returning back. He sheweth all his treasures to the
ambassadors of the king of Babylon: Isaias reproving him for it,
foretelleth the Babylonish captivity.
20:1. In those days Ezechias was sick unto death: and Isaias, the son of
Amos, the prophet, came and said to him: Thus saith the Lord God: Give
charge concerning thy house, for thou shalt die, and not llve.
20:2. And he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord,
saying:
20:3. I beseech thee, O Lord, remember how I have walked before thee in

before thee. And Ezechias wept with much weeping.

the Lord, the God of David, thy father: I have heard thy prayer, and I
have seen thy tears: and behold I have healed thee: on the third day
thou shalt go up to the temple of the Lord.
20:6. And I will add to thy days fifteen years: and I will deliver thee
and this city out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians, and I will
protect this city for my own sake, and for David, my servant's sake.

third day?
