God Heals King Hezekiah | The Shadow Moves Backward | Bible Story for Kids

What happened when King Hezekiah became terribly ill and the prophet Isaiah told him he was going to die? Would God hear Hezekiah's prayer?

In this Old Testament Bible story for kids, King Hezekiah faces a life-threatening illness. When the prophet Isaiah brings him a message from the Lord, Hezekiah turns toward the wall, prays, and weeps.

God hears his prayer and sees his tears. Through Isaiah, the Lord promises to heal Hezekiah and add fifteen years to his life.

But Hezekiah asks for a sign that God's promise will come true. And God gives him something extraordinary—the shadow moves backward ten steps!
