At that time
Merodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of
Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah:
for he had heard that he had been sick, and was
recovered.
02 And Hezekiah was glad of them, and shewed them
the house of his precious things, the silver, and
the gold, and the spices, and the precious
ointment, and all the house of his armour, and
all that was found in his treasures: there was
nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion,
that Hezekiah shewed them not.
03 Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king
Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men?
and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah
said, They are come from a far country unto me,
even from Babylon.
04 Then said he, What have they seen in thine
house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in mine
house have they seen: there is nothing among my
treasures that I have not shewed them.

05 Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of
the Lord of hosts:
06 Behold, the days come, that all that is in
thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid
up in store until this day, shall be carried to
Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the Lord.
07 And of thy sons that shall issue from thee,
which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and
they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king
of Babylon.
08 Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word
of the Lord which thou hast spoken. He said
moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in
my days.
