Verses 1-22

CHAPTER 38

Hezekiah’s Sickness and Healing

1. Isaiah’s startling message (Isaiah 38:1) 2. Hezekiah’s prayer (Isaiah 38:2-3) 3. The prayer heard and the sign (Isaiah 38:4-8) 4. The king’s sorrow and joy, a psalm of praise (Isaiah 38:9-20) 5. The remedy for the recovery (Isaiah 38:21-22)The message of approaching death startled the king because at that time he had no son.
