2 Kings 20:16-21

16 dixit itaque Esaias Ezechiae audi sermonem Domini

17 ecce dies venient et auferentur omnia quae sunt in domo tua et quae condiderunt patres tui usque in diem hanc in Babylone non remanebit quicquam ait Dominus

18 sed et de filiis tuis qui egredientur ex te quos generabis tollentur et erunt eunuchi in palatio regis Babylonis

19 dixit Ezechias ad Esaiam bonus sermo Domini quem locutus est sit pax et veritas in diebus meis

20 reliqua autem sermonum Ezechiae et omnis fortitudo eius et quomodo fecerit piscinam et aquaeductum et introduxerit aquas in civitatem nonne haec scripta sunt in libro sermonum dierum regum Iuda

21 dormivitque Ezechias cum patribus suis et regnavit Manasses filius eius pro eo

2 Kings 20:16-21 Meaning and Commentary

In this chapter is an account of Hezekiah's sickness, and of the means of his recovery, and of the sign given of it, 2 Kings 20:1 of the king of Babylon's congratulatory letter to him upon it, when he showed to the messengers that brought it his treasures, in the pride and vanity of his heart, 2 Kings 20:12 for which he was reproved by the prophet Isaiah, and was humbled, and submitted to the sentence pronounced on his house, 2 Kings 20:14, and the chapter is concluded with his reign and death, 2 Kings 20:20.
