2 Kings 20:19

Good is the word. Hezekiah acknowledged that the words of Isaiah were the words of the Lord and he could not but acknowledge that these words were good. He knew that he deserved this rebuke.

Peace and truth. Rather, “peace and stability.” The Hebrew word here translated “truth” comes from the root ’aman (adopted into English as “amen”), which means “to confirm,” “to support.” Hezekiah was particularly pleased over the fact that the threatened judgment was not to fall in his day, but that there would be a continuance of prosperity and peace during his reign. It was a natural but a selfish reaction. Hezekiah should have been concerned over the troubles that his rash action would bring upon his posterity.
