Isaiah 38

King Hizqiyyahu falls mortally ill; Yesha'yahu prophesies his death, but after Hizqiyyahu's prayer pleading his faithfulness to YHWH, YHWH promises through Yesha'yahu to extend his life by fifteen years, deliver him from Assyria, and confirms it by moving the shadow on the sundial of Ahaz backward ten steps.[1][2][3] Hizqiyyahu composes a psalm of thanksgiving for deliverance from Sheol and restoration to life, praising the living who can laud YHWH; Yesha'yahu prescribes a fig poultice for the boil.[1][2][4]
