Context
8Hezekia alikuwa amemuuliza Isaya, “Kutakuwa na ishara gani kwamba Bwana ataniponya mimi, na kwamba nitapanda kwenda Hekalu la Bwana siku ya tatu tangu leo?” 9Isaya akajibu, “Hii ndiyo ishara ya Bwana kwako kwamba Bwana atafanya kile alichoahidi: Je, kivuli kiende hatua kumi mbele, au kivuli kirudi nyuma hatua kumi?” 10Hezekia akasema, “Ni jambo rahisi kwa kivuli kutangulia mbele hatua kumi, kuliko kukifanya kirudi nyuma hatua kumi.” 11Ndipo nabii Isaya akamwita Bwana, naye Bwana akakifanya kivuli kurudi nyuma hatua kumi ambazo kilikuwa kimeshuka kwenye ngazi ya Ahazi. 12Wakati huo Merodaki-Baladani, mwana wa Baladani mfalme wa Babeli, akamtumia Hezekia barua na zawadi, kwa sababu alikuwa amesikia habari za kuugua kwa Hezekia.
