2 Kings 20 · Grade 4

Tears and Treasures

Name Date

Read and Think

In those days Hezekiah was sick to the point of death. Isaiah came and told him to set his house in order, for he would die and not live. Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed, asking the Lord to remember how he had walked before Him in truth and with a perfect heart. He wept bitterly.

Before Isaiah had gone out of the middle part of the city, the Lord sent him back with a message for Hezekiah, the prince of His people. The Lord said, I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. He promised to heal him, add fifteen years to his life, and defend Jerusalem for His own sake and David's. Isaiah had them lay a cake of figs on the boil, and Hezekiah recovered.

As a sign, Isaiah cried to the Lord, and He brought the shadow ten steps backward on the stairway of Ahaz. Later, Berodach Baladan king of Babylon sent letters and a present. Hezekiah showed his envoys his silver, gold, spices, armory, and all his treasures. Isaiah warned that everything would be carried to Babylon, and some of his descendants would serve in Babylon's palace. Hezekiah said the word was good, thinking there would be peace in his days.

2 Kings 20 · Grade 5

Healed but Not Humbled

Name Date

Read and Think

Hezekiah's illness brought him face to face with death. His prayer was simple and honest, and his tears were real. God's response was swift: Isaiah had not left the palace courts before he was sent back. God heard, saw, and answered. He added fifteen years and confirmed it by turning the shadow back ten steps, a sign that the Creator rules even time and light.

Yet Hezekiah's next test went poorly. When envoys came from Babylon, then a rising power, he showed them everything: treasures, armory, and storehouses. Second Chronicles says God left him to test him, to know all that was in his heart, and that his heart was proud (2 Chronicles 32:25, 31). He displayed his own glory rather than the Lord's.

Isaiah's prophecy was devastating: all would be carried to Babylon. Hezekiah's reply, that the word was good since there would be peace in his days, shows a troubling short-sightedness. A man who wept for his own life seemed less moved by his descendants' future. In the New Testament, Paul asks what we have that we did not receive, and if we received it, why we boast (1 Corinthians 4:7).
