2 Kings 20 (성경통독): When Hezekiah prayed to God saying that he he has live to please him; lived for his approval, then the tears flowed and Hezekiah wept. God listened to his prayer and observed his tears and decided to heal him. Further, God extended Hezekiah's life by adding 15 years. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz confirmed that this was truly the works of God by calling out in prayer to God; as a result, the shadow went back ten degrees on Ahaz’s sundial. Also, in this chapter, Merodach-Baladan, the son of Baladan king of Babylon, having heard that the king was sick, sent a get-well card and a gift to Hezekiah. In response, Hezekiah was pleased and showed the messengers around the place—silver, gold, spices, aromatic oils, his stockpile of weapons—a guided tour of all his prized possessions. There wasn’t a thing in his palace or kingdom that Hezekiah didn’t show them. Then Isaiah spoke to Hezekiah, “Listen to what God has to say about this: The day is coming when everything you own and everything your ancestors have passed down to you, right down to the last cup and saucer, will be cleaned out of here—plundered and packed off to Babylon. God’s word! Worse yet, your sons, the progeny of sons you’ve begotten, will end up as eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.” Nevertheless, Hezekiah was not really concerned since he thought to himself that “If God says it, it must be good....It won’t happen during his lifetime—He’ll enjoy peace and security as long as he lives.”
