The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness:
Isaiah 38:9 is Hezekiah king of Judah's own writing, set down after he had been sick and had recovered. The sickness was one that threatened his life. After he prayed, God promised him fifteen more years of life.
In his recovery a fig applied to the affected part was used. The use of that simple remedy worked in harmony with faith and with God's power, rather than against them.
