Oh, dude, when God was feeling generous, Hezekiah was already around 39 years old. So, when God decided to throw in an extra 15 years, Hezekiah was probably like, "Cool, more time to hang out and do stuff, I guess." So, yeah, Hezekiah was about 54 when he got that sweet extension.
St. Benedict was about 20 years old when he left home to pursue a life devoted to God. He left behind his privileged upbringing to live a life of solitude and prayer in search of spiritual growth.
Life is not short. Life is endless. Please refer with Bible. Reference: Matthew 5:3; 19:29, Malachi 3:15-18. The Bible just says about the LIFE. God bless You. --------------------------- Mortal life is 72yrs (exceptions of course: younger or older), but, that's what God said. Eternal life with Jesus comes as you accept Him as your Savior.
There aren't many people who would say "No, I've had way too much already!" when asked if they would like a few more years of good quality life. An eternity stretches backwards prior to my birth, and an eternity will stretch on after my death. It makes no difference how old I am when I die; it will be and it will seem short.
The oldest recorded age a human being has lived to is 122 years. This age is considered an extreme outlier, and the average life expectancy for humans is typically around 70-80 years. Several factors, such as genetics, lifestyle choices, and medical advancements, can influence how long a person lives.
No one is really sure how long they will live. Living longer can be achieved by not smoking, by excercising, by eating right, and by being active. These things generally lead to a longer and more healthy life. No one can live forever, and there is no magical fountain of youth. Follow this simple steps and you may live to 100! It all depends on your lifestyle and habits. If you are following a systematic lifestyle, you can live longer. It really depends on the situation. If you have lots of bad vices your life will be very short. But if you're living in a healthy and a life full of determination for sure you will live longer. == ==

The king whose life was extended by 15 years because God granted it to him
People say that, because it's implicit in 2 Kings ch.20. Hezekiah was close to death, he prayed to God, and was promised more years of life (2 Kings 20:1-6), which implies clearly that his prayer included the request for further years of life.
