And Ezekias said to Esaias, What the sign that the Lord will heal me, and I shall go up to the house of the Lord on the third day?
9
And Esaias said, This the sign from the Lord, that the Lord will perform the word which he has spoken, the shadow shall advance ten degrees: if it should go back ten degrees .
10
And Ezekias said, a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return ten degrees backward on the dial.
11
And Esaias the prophet cried to the Lord: and the shadow returned back ten degrees on the dial.

At that time Marodach Baladan, son of Baladan king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Ezekias, because he had heard that Ezekias was sick.
