19:35. And it came to pass that night, that an angel of the Lord came,
and slew in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five
thousand. And when he arose early in the morning, he saw all the bodies
of the dead.
19:36. And Sennacherib, king of the Assyrians, departing, went away, and
he returned and abode in Ninive.
19:37. And as he was worshipping in the temple of Nesroch, his god,
Adramelech and Sarasar, his sons, slew him with the sword, and they fled
into the land of the Armenians, and Asarhaddon, his son, reigned in his
stead.
4 Kings Chapter 20
Ezechias being sick, is told by Isaias that he shall die; but praying to
God, he obtaineth longer life, and in confirmation thereof receiveth a
sign by the sun's returning back. He sheweth all his treasures to the
ambassadors of the king of Babylon: Isaias reproving him for it,
foretelleth the Babylonish captivity.
20:1. In those days Ezechias was sick unto death: and Isaias, the son of
Amos, the prophet, came and said to him: Thus saith the Lord God: Give
charge concerning thy house, for thou shalt die, and not llve.
20:2. And he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord,
saying:
20:3. I beseech thee, O Lord, remember how I have walked before thee in
truth, and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is pleasing
before thee. And Ezechias wept with much weeping.
20:4. And before Isaias was gone out of the middle of the court, the
word of the Lord came to him, saying:
20:5. Go back, and tell Ezechias, the captain of my people: Thus saith
the Lord, the God of David, thy father: I have heard thy prayer, and I
have seen thy tears: and behold I have healed thee: on the third day
thou shalt go up to the temple of the Lord.
20:6. And I will add to thy days fifteen years: and I will deliver thee
and this city out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians, and I will
protect this city for my own sake, and for David, my servant's sake.
20:7. And Isaias said: Bring me a lump of figs. And when they had
brought it, and laid it upon his boil, he was healed.
20:8. And Ezechias had said to Isaias: What shall be the sign that the
Lord will heal me, and that I will go up to the temple of the Lord the
third day?
20:9. And Isaias said to him: This shall be the sign from the Lord, that
the Lord will do the word which he hath spoken: Wilt thou that the
shadow go forward ten lines, or that it go back so many degrees?
20:10. And Ezechias said: It is an easy matter for the shadow to go
forward ten lines: and I do not desire that this be done, but let it
return back ten degrees.
20:11. And Isaias, the prophet, called upon the Lord, and he brought the
shadow ten degrees backwards by the lines, by which it had already gone
down on the dial of Achaz.
20:12. At that time Berodach Baladan, the son of Baladan, king of the
Babylonians, sent letters and presents to Ezechias: for he had heard
that Ezechias had been sick.
20:13. And Ezechias rejoiced at their coming, and he shewed them the
house of his aromatical spices, and the gold, and the silver, and divers
precious odours, and ointments, and the house of his vessels, and all
that he had in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all
his dominions, that Ezechias shewed them not.
20:14. And Isaias, the prophet, came to king Ezechias, and said to him:
What said these men? or from whence came they to thee? And Ezechias said
to him: From a far country, they came to me out of Babylon.
20:15. And he said: What did they see in thy house? Ezechias said: They
saw all the things that are in my house: There is nothing among my
treasures that I have not shewed them.
