2
Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed:
3
"Remember, Lord, that I have served you faithfully and loyally, and that I have always tried to do what you wanted me to." And he began to cry bitterly.
5
to go back to Hezekiah and say to him, "I, the Lord, the God of your ancestor David, have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will let you live fifteen years longer.
6
I will rescue you and this city of Jerusalem from the emperor of Assyria, and I will continue to protect the city."
