Exegesis
The narrative opens with the temporal expression bayamim hahem {בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם | ba-yā-mîm hā-hēm} “during those days,” setting the scene for Hezekiah’s crisis.
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.’”
