2 Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the Lord,
2 Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord,
2 Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord,
2 Hezekiah turned away from Isaiah and, facing the wall, prayed to God:
2 Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the Lord,
2 When Hezekiah heard this, he turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord,
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Isaiah 38:2
Commentary on Isaiah 38:1-8
(Read Isaiah 38:1-8)
When we pray in our sickness, though God send not to us such an answer as he here sent to Hezekiah, yet, if by his Spirit he bids us be of good cheer, assures us that our sins are forgiven, and that, whether we live or die, we shall be his, we do not pray in vain. See 2 Kings 20:1-11.
