and he did that pleased the LORD in all things, like to David his father.
Did Hezekiah king of Judah and the people of Judah put him to death for this? No verily, but rather feared the LORD, and made their prayer unto him. For the which cause also the LORD repented of the plague, that he had devised against them. Should we then do such a shameful deed against our souls?"
He trusted in the LORD God of Israel, so that after him came none like him among all the kings of Judah, neither among them that went before him. He clave to the LORD and departed not from him, but kept his commandments which the LORD commanded Moses.
And he did that was right in the sight of the LORD in all points as did David his father.
And of this manner did Hezekiah, throughout all Judah; and did that was good, right and truth, before the LORD his God. And in all the works that he began in the service of the house of God, to seek his God after the law and commandment, that did he with all his heart, and prospered.
The rest of the deeds of Hezekiah and his goodness are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

But of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed nations and their lands, and have set fire on their gods. For they were no gods - but the work of the hands of man; even wood and stone.

And Isaiah was scarce gone out into the middle of the city, but that the word of the LORD came to him, saying, "Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people: 'Thus sayeth the LORD God of David thy father. I have heard thy prayer and seen thy tears. Behold, I will heal thee, and this day three days thou shalt go up into the house of the LORD. And I will lengthen thy days yet fifteen years, and will deliver both thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and will defend this city for mine own sake, and for David my servant's sake." And Isaiah said, "Bring a lump of figs." And they brought and put it on the sore, and he recovered. Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, "What is the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day?" And Isaiah said, "This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD will do that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back again ten degrees?" And Hezekiah said, "It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees. Therefore I will not that: but let the shadow go backward ten degrees." And Isaiah the Prophet called to the LORD, and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward by which it had gone down, in the dial of Ahaz.
