Commentary on Isaiah 38:5

God's response as 'the God of David thy father' invokes covenant promises to the Davidic line, assuring continuity of messianic hopes. The addition of fifteen years demonstrates both divine sovereignty (knowing the future) and responsiveness (hearing prayer). The 'sign' Hezekiah requests (v. 7) shows that seeking confirmation of God's promises is legitimate faith, not doubting unbelief.
