Exegesis
The vav-consecutive forms vayavo {וַיָּבֹא | wa-yā-wo} “and he came” and vayomer {וַיֹּאמֶר | wa-yō-mer} “and he said” connect the prophetic visitation to Hezekiah’s condition.
In context — 2 Kings 20:1
Around that time, Hezekiah became ill, near death, and the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz came to him and said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Put your house in order, for you will die; you will not live.’”
