II Kings 20:5 ” Go back and tell Hezekiah, the leader of My people, This is what the Lord, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you. On the third day from now you will go up to the Temple of the Lord.”

King Hezekiah became ill to the point of death when Isaiah went and said to him, “Put your house in order, you’re going to die.”  But it then says that Hezekiah prayed and wept before the Lord and the Lord relented.  The human mind would look at this as God yielding, changing His mind, or just being fickle.  But to God, relenting is grounded in compassion not whimsy.  Psalm 106:45 says, “…and out of His great love He relented.”  Though it may appear to us that God was changing His plan… according to His divine perspective…nothing changed.
