Hezekiah healed; the shadow moves backward
When Hezekiah became mortally ill, he wept and prayed. Before Isaiah left the palace court, the LORD promised fifteen more years and deliverance from Assyria; as a sign, the shadow moved backward ten steps (2 Kings 20:1-11).

📖 2 Kings 20:1–3
1In those days Hezekiah became mortally ill. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz came to him and said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Put your house in order, for you are about to die; you will not recover.’” 2Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD, saying, 3“Please, O LORD, remember how I have walked before You faithfully and with wholehearted devotion; I have done what was good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
