What was the relationship between Isaiah and Hezekiah?

When the Assyrians threatened Jerusalem, Hezekiah asked Isaiah to pray. Isaiah also told him that he would recover from his illness. 2 Kings 19:2-4, 20; 2 Kings 20:1-6

What the Bible says

2 Kings 20:3

I beseech thee, O Lord, remember how I have walked before thee in truth, and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is pleasing before thee. And Ezechias wept with much weeping.

2 Kings 20:5

Go back, and tell Ezechias the captain of my people: Thus saith the Lord the God of David thy father: I have heard thy prayer, and I have seen thy tears: and behold I have healed thee; on the third day thou shalt go up to the temple of the Lord.
