Isaiah 38:8

Which is gone down "By which the sun is gone down" - For בשמש bashshemesh , the Septuagint, Syriac, and Chaldee read השמש , hashshemesh . - Houbigant. In the history of this miracle in the book of Kings, ( 2 Kings 20:9-11 ;), there is no mention at all made of the sun, but only of the going backward of the shadow: which might be effected by a supernatural refraction. The first ὁ ἡλιος , the sun, in this verse is omitted in the Septuagint, MS. Pachom.
