A simple 15 degree rotation of the sundial's dial plate about its axis would have done the trick...

OTOH, I prefer to believe that the Creator has absolute control over spacetime, so there are any number of adustments that could have been applied...

OOoooops! I missed the Scriptural reference of "ten degrees". That means that the sundial would have "backed up" 40 minutes -- not an hour.

From that, I don't see the connection to 15 years of the king's lifetime...

Indeed. Thank you so much for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!
