Bible. Kings, 2nd
12:020:009 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?
12:020:010 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.
12:020:011 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.
12:020:012 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.
12:020:013 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.
12:020:014 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.
12:020:015 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.
12:020:016 And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD.
12:020:017 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.
12:020:018 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.
12:020:019 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?
12:020:020 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?
12:020:021 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers: and Manasseh his son
reigned in his stead.
12:021:001 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and
reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's
name was Hephzibah.
12:021:002 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, after
the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out before
the children of Israel.
