‏ 2 Kings 20:2-6

Summary for 2Kgs 20:2-3: 20:2-3  a Unlike Ahab, who went to bed in a royal pout (1 Kgs 21:4  b), Hezekiah ... turned his face to the wall and prayed.
20:5  c Hezekiah’s commitment to the Lord compared favorably with that of his ancestor David (18:3  d). Just as God had heard David’s prayers (Pss 6:8-9  e; 28:6-7  f; 31:22  g; 40:1-2  h), he would answer Hezekiah’s plea.
20:6  i When God added more years to Hezekiah’s life, he also promised to defend Jerusalem. When Hezekiah reacted to Sennacherib’s later invasion (19:14-19  j) by seeking counsel from Isaiah (19:2  k), he was following an established precedent.

• for my own honor and for ... David: God reminded Hezekiah of this promise during Sennacherib’s invasion (19:34  l).
