of Mount Zion those who shall escape: the zeal of Yahweh
shall perform this.
019:032 Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning the king of Assyria, He shall
not come to this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither shall
he come before it with shield, nor cast up a mound against it.
019:033 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return,
and he shall not come to this city, says Yahweh.
019:034 For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake,
and for my servant David's sake.
019:035 It happened that night, that the angel of Yahweh went forth,
and struck in the camp of the Assyrians one hundred
eighty-five thousand: and when men arose early in the morning,
behold, these were all dead bodies.
019:036 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned,
and lived at Nineveh.
019:037 It happened, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god,
that Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him with the sword:
and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Esar Haddon his son
reigned in his place.
020:001 In those days was Hezekiah sick to death. Isaiah the
prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him,
Thus says Yahweh, Set your house in order: for you shall die,
and not live.
020:002 Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to Yahweh, saying,
020:003 Remember now, Yahweh, I beg you, how I have walked before you
in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is
good in your sight. Hezekiah wept sore.
020:004 It happened, before Isaiah was gone out into the middle part
of the city, that the word of Yahweh came to him, saying,
020:005 Turn back, and tell Hezekiah the prince of my people,
Thus says Yahweh, the God of David your father, I have heard
your prayer, I have seen your tears: behold, I will heal you;
on the third day you shall go up to the house of Yahweh.
020:006 I will add to your days fifteen years; and I will deliver
you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria;
and I will defend this city for my own sake, and for my
servant David's sake.
020:007 Isaiah said, Take a cake of figs. They took and laid it
on the boil, and he recovered.
020:008 Hezekiah said to Isaiah, What shall be the sign that Yahweh
will heal me, and that I shall go up to the house of Yahweh
the third day?
020:009 Isaiah said, This shall be the sign to you from Yahweh,
that Yahweh will do the thing that he has spoken:
shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps?
020:010 Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to decline
ten steps: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten steps.
020:011 Isaiah the prophet cried to Yahweh; and he brought the shadow ten
steps backward, by which it had gone down on the dial of Ahaz.
