21. He struck the camp of the Assyrians, And his angel utterly destroyed them.

22. For Hezekiah did that which was pleasing to the Lord, And was strong in the ways of David his father, Which Isaiah the prophet commanded, Who was great and faithful in his vision.

23. In his days the sun went backward; And he added life to the king.

24. He saw by an excellent spirit what should come to pass at the last; And he comforted them that mourned in Sion.
