2 Kings 20:4
And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the Lord came to him, saying, (2 Kings 20:4)
Into the middle court.
 Hezekiah’s answer came speedily. Before Isaiah had left the precincts of the palace he was bidden to return. God always hears the man who pours out his soul in earnest prayer. The answer may not be as expected, or as immediate or direct as was the case with Hezekiah, but the Lord hears nevertheless, and works all things for good for those who love Him (Rom. 8:28).
