2 Reyes 20:8 Meaning and Commentary

And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah,.... Or "had said," {w} before the plaster of figs was directed to, or, however, laid on, and as soon as he was told he should be healed:

what shall be the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the Lord the third day? not that he disbelieved the promise of God, or doubted of a cure, but this he requested for the confirmation of his faith; which good men sometimes asked, when they doubted not, as Gideon; and Ahaz, Hezekiah's father, was bid to ask a sign for the like purpose, and it was resented in him that he did not, see Judges 6:17.

{w} rmayw "dixerat autem," V. L. Vatablus.

8 Ezequías le había preguntado al profeta:—¿Qué señal recibiré de que el SEÑOR me sanará, y de que en tres días podré subir a su templo?

10 —Es fácil que la sombra se extienda diez peldaños —replicó Ezequías—, pero no que vuelva atrás.
