2 CHRON. XXXII. from vers. 27. to end. 2 KINGS XX. vers. 20, 21.

[Division 267] [Hezekiah 15] HEZEKIAH liveth these fifteen years in safety and prosperity, [Division 268] [Hezekiah 16] having humbled himself before the Lord for his pride to the Em∣bassadors [Division 269] [Hezekiah 17] of Babel: The degrees of the Suns reversing, and the fifteen [Division 270] [Hezekiah 18] years of Hezekiahs life prolonging, may call to our minds the fifteen [Division 271] [Hezekiah 19] Psalms of degrees, viz. from Psalm 120 and forward: There were He∣zekiahs [Division 272] [Hezekiah 20] songs that were sung to the stringed instruments in the House of [Division 273] [Hezekiah 21] the Lord, Esay 38. 21. whether these were picked out by him for that [Division 274] [Hezekiah 22] purpose, be it left to censure. The Jews hold they were called Psalms [Division 275] [Hezekiah 23] of degrees, because they were sung upon the fifteen stairs that rose into [Division 276] [Hezekiah 24] the Courts of the Temple. Who so in reading those Psalms shall have [Division 277] [Hezekiah 25] his thoughts, upon the danger of Jerusalem by Sennacherib, and her de∣livery, and the sickness of Hezekiah and his recovery, shall find that they fit those occasions in many places very well. But I assert nothing, but leave it to examination.
