2 Kings 20

Thus she uses means for her temporal safety: and so have other of God's children done in like case. When King Hezekiah (2 Kings 20:6) was sick, he was certified by the Prophet from God, that he should live fifteen years longer; yet he neglected not the means whereby he should be…

Or thus: Of weak were restored to health. This must be understood of Hezekiah, a worthy king of Judah, who (as we may read, 2 Kings 20.) being sore sick, even unto death, was restored to health, and obtained of GOD the lengthening of his days, for the space of fifteen years. Whi…

It is uprightness of heart that will comfort you upon a deathbed. 2 Kings 20:2-3: 'Then he turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord, saying: Remember now, O Lord, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart.' I am really of his mind who said: 'Might…

Remember you are at the door of eternity, and have other work to do; those hours you spend upon heart-work in your closets are the golden spots of all your time, and will have the sweetest influence into your last hour. Never forget those sermons I preached to you upon that subj…

Hezekiah obtained 15 years' lease of his house of clay from Jehovah his Landlord; and how? (2 Kings 20:2) He turned his face to the wall, and prayed. Jonah broke the prison of hell by prayer.

I put it among infirmities, he allows him his trial of sense, but with some rebuke. To this head may be referred that of Hezekiah, who when he was sick of a mortal disease, and the Lord had extraordinarily promised him on his mourning, that he should be recovered again, he asks…

We never read that the light of the sun was augmented, unless it were when it stayed itself in the days of Joshua, that he might have leisure to pursue his enemies (Joshua 10:13). Also in the days of Hezekiah, at whose request the dial went back ten degrees (2 Kings 20:11). But…

Some expound this verse as if this had been given Hezekiah for a sign; and therefore they refer it to the former sentence: but it is more likely that the order of the thing is here changed; which often falls out among the Hebrews, so as that which should be said in the beginning…

This is our rejoicing, the testimony of our conscience, that in all sincerity and godly simplicity, we have had our conversation in this world. So Hezekiah (2 Kings 20:3): Remember now, O Lord, how I have walked before you in truth, and with a perfect heart. A day of judgment wi…

But the diligent life of a Christian makes the clods of the valley, his grave sweet to him (2 Corinthians 1:12). Remember now, O Lord, how I have walked before you, etc. (2 Kings 20:3). Think Christian, how sweet it will be for you when you come to die; to say then as your Redee…

It is given as a special reason, why the King of Babylon sent Ambassadors, and a present to Hezekiah, after he had been sick, to testify his respect to him, and to honor him, because he had heard, how that miracle of the Suns going back was for him, as a sign of his recovery; Th…

O, let me not stick my Death-bed full of Thorns, against I come to lie down upon it. O that I may turn to the Wall, in that hour, as Hezekiah did, 2 Kings 20. 2, 3. and say, Remember now, O Lord, I have walked before you in truth, and with a perfect heart,&c. THE POEM.

Whatever graces you want, get yourselves furnished therewith, meditate duly upon the promises God has made to that end, so shall you keep your hearts alive and all your performances. Use 4: It is of great consolation to all such Christians, whose performances are very small, and…

There are several things that seem to me to argue, that when the Sun of Righteousness, the Sun of the new heavens and new earth, comes to rise, and comes forth as the bridegroom of his church, rejoicing as a strong man to run his race, having his going forth from the end of Heav…
