God Hears and Responds
Commentators emphasize that God's message is a direct and compassionate answer to Hezekiah's prayer and tears. John Gill notes the healing was miraculous, while Matthew Henry adds that God always hears the prayers of the brokenhearted. This event serves as a powerful encouragement for believers to bring their deepest needs to God, trusting that He sees, hears, and responds.
