¹⁹ “Did Hezekiah king of Judah or anyone else in Judah put him to death? Did not Hezekiah^(A) fear the Lord and seek^(B) his favor? And did not the Lord relent,^(C) so that he did not bring the disaster^(D) he pronounced against them? We are about to bring a terrible disaster^(E) on ourselves!”

¹⁴ Then the Lord relented^(A) and did not bring on his people the disaster he had threatened.

¹⁵ And God sent an angel^(A) to destroy Jerusalem.^(B) But as the angel was doing so, the Lord saw it and relented^(C) concerning the disaster and said to the angel who was destroying^(D) the people, “Enough! Withdraw your hand.” The angel of the Lord was then standing at the threshing floor of Araunah^[a] the Jebusite.
