* Take a lump.
  2:20-22  4:41  Isa 38:21 
 * the boil.
   The word {shechin,} from the Arabic {sachana,} to be hot,
   signifies an inflammatory tumour, or burning boil; and some
   think that Hezekiah's malady was a pleurisy; others, that it
   was the plague; and others, the elephantiasis, a species of
   leprosy, as one of the Hexapla versions renders in Job 2:7.  A
   poultice of figs might be very proper to maturate a boil, or
   dismiss any obstinate inflammatory swelling; but we need not
   discuss its propriety in this case, because it was as much the
   means which God chose to bless for his recovery, as the clay
   which Christ moistened to anoint the eyes of the blind man;
   for in both cases, without Divine interposition the cure could
   not have been effected.
