Isaiah 38 22

My Notes Authors John Calvin - Commentaries **_Now, Hezekiah had said. _Some explain this verse as if this also had been a sign given to Hezekiah, and therefore, view it as connected with the preceding verse, and look upon it as an exclamation of astonishment. But it is more probable that in this passage the order has been reversed, as frequently takes place with Hebrew writers, and that what was spoken last is related first. Isaiah did not at the beginning say that Hezekiah had asked a sign, though the sacred history (2 Kings 20:8 ) attests it; and therefore he adds what he had left out at the proper place.
