II.—THE WAY PREPARED FOR THE RELATIONS WITH BABYLON. HEZEKIAH’S SICKNESS AND RECOVERY, AND THE EMBASSY FROM BABYLON THIS OCCASIONEDIsaiah 38, 391. HEZEKIAH’S SICKNESS AND RECOVERY38a) The Sickness. Isaiah 38:1-31In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, 1Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live. 2Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the Lord, 3and said,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 38:1-22

In this chapter we have the story of the sickness of Hezekiah. That sickness would seem to have been intimately connected with the invasion of Sennacherib, for in Isaiah's message to Hezekiah that his prayer was heard it was promised, "I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city." The last verse of the chapter tells us that Hezekiah had asked a sign that he should go up to the house of the Lord, this in explanation of the account of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 38:1-8

Hezekiah’s Illness and The Great Sign (Isaiah 38:1-8 ). The centrality and importance of this chapter must not be overlooked. It was God’s final attempt to woo over the reigning house of David to a life of obedience and trust. From this chapter onwards (along with its consequence in chapter 39) attention turns to the coming Servant of Yahweh Who will accomplish what the current house of David has proved itself incapable of doing. Isaiah 38:1 ‘In those days Hezekiah was sick unto death. And... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 38:1-22

Isaiah 36-39. This section has been extracted from 2 Kings 18:13 to 2 Kings 20:19, and the Song of Hezekiah has been added. For an exposition see the notes on 2 K.; here we have simply to deal with the Song of Hezekiah. Isaiah 38:10-Proverbs : . Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Imminent Death.— This is now generally regarded as a post-exilic psalm. Its absence in the parallel narratine in Kings is significant. Apparently it was inserted here by an editor who thought it suitable to Hezekiah’... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 38:1

PREPARATION FOR DEATHIsaiah 38:1. Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.This announcement was made to Hezekiah when suffering under dangerous illness. In answer to his prayer the sentence was mitigated. Fifteen years were added to his life. It is not wrong to pray for the prolongation of life when important interests are concerned, and when we pray with due submission to Him whose prerogative it is to fix its duration.The text furnishes a theme for useful meditation. It... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 38:1-19

HEZEKIAH’S PRAYERIsaiah 38:1-19In this narrative there are three points of difficulty and many points of instruction.I. THREE POINTS OF DIFFICULTY.1. Why was Hezekiah afraid to die? Answer: (1.) Even to a Christian man, death is an event of unutterable solemnity, for which he feels it necessary to make the most serious preparation, and which he would not like to have occur to him suddenly. (2.) Hezekiah had not that clear view of the future which has been granted to us (Isaiah 38:18; 2 Timothy... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 38:1

Isaiah 38:1 I. Many have sought to realise the moment after death, and have strained imagination and faith to their utmost in the effort to pierce the veil beyond, and understand how we shall feel. The effort is not altogether in vain; for the attention of the mind will, at all events, give increased reality to the fact of the great change, and of the transit from one world into another, if it do no more. Before the intensity of that gaze one earthly thing after another will disappear, till the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 38:1-22

Chapter 38In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set your house in order: for you shall die, and not live ( Isaiah 38:1 ).These are pretty heavy tidings. You get sick and a prophet of God comes and says, "Hey, set your house in order, man, this is it. You're going to die and not live." There are things that we must take care of before we die. Important things to take care of. The most important... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 38:1-22

Isaiah 38:1 . Set thine house in order, for thou shalt die, and not live. This burden of the Lord placed the prophet in a critical situation. God saw that nothing milder than this harsh and tremendous stroke would bring the royal mind to recollection, and elicit those fine sentiments of repentance which follow in the subsequent psalm. But the prophet’s life would also have been in danger, had it not been for the recession of the solar shadow on the dial of Ahaz, having as a false prophet... read more
