1At that time6256 Merodachbaladan4757, the son1121 of Baladan1081, king4428 of Babylon894, sent7971 letters5612 and a present4503 to Hezekiah2396: for he had heard8085 that he had been sick2470, and was recovered2388.
2And Hezekiah2396 was glad8055 of them, and shewed7200 them the house1004 of his precious things5238, the silver3701, and the gold2091, and the spices1314, and the precious2896 ointment8081, and all the house1004 of his armour3627, and all that was found4672 in his treasures214: there was nothing1697 in his house1004, nor in all his dominion4475, that Hezekiah2396 shewed7200 them not.
3Then came935 Isaiah3470 the prophet5030 unto king4428 Hezekiah2396, and said559 unto him, What said559 these men582? and from whence370 came935 they unto thee? And Hezekiah2396 said559, They are come935 from a far7350 country776 unto me, even from Babylon894.
4Then said559 he, What have they seen7200 in thine house1004? And Hezekiah2396 answered559, All that is in mine house1004 have they seen7200: there is nothing1697 among my treasures214 that I have not shewed7200 them.
5Then said559 Isaiah3470 to Hezekiah2396, Hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD3068 of hosts6635:
6Behold, the days3117 come935, that all that is in thine house1004, and that which thy fathers1 have laid up in store686 until this day3117, shall be carried5375 to Babylon894: nothing1697 shall be left3498, saith559 the LORD3068.
7And of thy sons1121 that shall issue3318 from thee, which thou shalt beget3205, shall they take away3947; and they shall be eunuchs5631 in the palace1964 of the king4428 of Babylon894.
8Then said559 Hezekiah2396 to Isaiah3470, Good2896 is the word1697 of the LORD3068 which thou hast spoken1696. He said559 moreover, For there shall be peace7965 and truth571 in my days3117.
