2 Chronicles 32:20 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 32:20

And for this cause Hezekiah the king, and the prophet Isaiah,
the son of Amoz, prayed and cried to heaven.
] To God in heaven; of the prayer of Hezekiah on this account, see ( Isaiah 37:15-20 ) , and the notes there; (See Gill on Isaiah 37:15) (See Gill on Isaiah 37:16) (See Gill on Isaiah 37:17) (See Gill on Isaiah 37:18) (See Gill on Isaiah 37:19) (See Gill on Isaiah 37:20)

and though we read not of the prayer of Isaiah, no doubt he made one, as Hezekiah desired, and since he received a message from the Lord, which he sent to Hezekiah, ( Isaiah 37:4 Isaiah 37:21 ) .
