Significance: Kings' detailed account of Hezekiah's illness (2 Kgs 20:1-11) — Isaiah's death sentence, Hezekiah's weeping prayer, the fifteen-year extension, the sundial shadow sign — is compressed by the Chronicler into 2 Chronicles 32:24's single sentence: "he prayed to the LORD, who spoke to him and gave him a sign (מוֹפֵת, mofet)." Both texts agree on the key elements — mortal illness, prayer, divine response, miraculous sign — but the Chronicler's compression serves his literary purpose of moving quickly to the theological lesson about pride and humility that follows in verses 25-26.
