1At that time <06256> Merodachbaladan <04757>_, the son <01121> of Baladan <01081>_, king <04428> of Babylon <0894>_, sent <07971> (8804) letters <05612> and a present <04503> to Hezekiah <02396>_: for he had heard <08085> (8799) that he had been sick <02470> (8804)_, and was recovered <02388> (8799)_.
2And Hezekiah <02396> was glad <08055> (8799) of them, and shewed <07200> (8686) them the house <01004> of his precious things <05238>_, the silver <03701>_, and the gold <02091>_, and the spices <01314>_, and the precious <02896> ointment <08081>_, and all the house <01004> of his armour <03627>_, and all that was found <04672> (8738) in his treasures <0214>_: there was nothing <01697> in his house <01004>_, nor in all his dominion <04475>_, that Hezekiah <02396> shewed <07200> (8689) them not. {precious things: or, spicery} {armour: or, jewels: Heb. vessels, or, instruments}
3Then came <0935> (8799) Isaiah <03470> the prophet <05030> unto king <04428> Hezekiah <02396>_, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, What said <0559> (8804) these men <0582>_? and from whence <0370> came <0935> (8799) they unto thee? And Hezekiah <02396> said <0559> (8799)_, They are come <0935> (8804) from a far <07350> country <0776> unto me, [even] from Babylon <0894>_.
4Then said <0559> (8799) he, What have they seen <07200> (8804) in thine house <01004>_? And Hezekiah <02396> answered <0559> (8799)_, All that [is] in mine house <01004> have they seen <07200> (8804)_: there is nothing <01697> among my treasures <0214> that I have not shewed <07200> (8689) them.
5Then said <0559> (8799) Isaiah <03470> to Hezekiah <02396>_, Hear <08085> (8798) the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>_:
6Behold, the days <03117> come <0935> (8802)_, that all that [is] in thine house <01004>_, and [that] which thy fathers <01> have laid up in store <0686> (8804) until this day <03117>_, shall be carried <05375> (8738) to Babylon <0894>_: nothing <01697> shall be left <03498> (8735)_, saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>_.
7And of thy sons <01121> that shall issue <03318> (8799) from thee, which thou shalt beget <03205> (8686)_, shall they take away <03947> (8799)_; and they shall be eunuchs <05631> in the palace <01964> of the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>_.
8Then said <0559> (8799) Hezekiah <02396> to Isaiah <03470>_, Good <02896> [is] the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> which thou hast spoken <01696> (8765)_. He said <0559> (8799) moreover, For there shall be peace <07965> and truth <0571> in my days <03117>_.
