ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἐμαλακίσθη Εζεκιας ἕως θανάτου καὶ ἦλθεν πρὸς αὐτὸν Ησαιας υἱὸς Αμως ὁ προφήτης καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν τάδε λέγει κύριος τάξαι περὶ τοῦ οἴκου σου ἀποθνῄσκεις γὰρ σὺ καὶ οὐ ζήσῃ
And it came to pass in that time that Hezekiah became weak unto death, and Isaiah son of Amos the prophet came to him and said to him, Thus says the Lord: Set your house in order, for you are dying and shall not live.
The narrative opens with the king under a death sentence and the prophet bearing an apparently final word. The blunt command to order the household gives the scene immediate personal urgency.
