Talmud zu Könige II 20:4

It is written¹⁷⁹2K. 20:4–5.: The Word of the Eternal was to the prophet Isaiah as follows: Go and tell Hezekias, My people’s leader…so says the Eternal, your ancestor David’s God, I heard your prayer, I saw your tear; now I am adding fifteen years to your days. He told Him, first I told him one way, now I have to tell him this? He told Him, he is a great personality and will not believe me. He answered him, he is a very meek person and will believe you. Not only that, but the rumor has not yet spread in the city: Isaiah had not yet left the middle courtyard; “city” is written¹⁸⁰Courtyard is Qere, city is Ketib. The rumor is that Isaiah told the king that he would die. The prophet does not have to fear that his credibility was impaired..
