Dual Panel1At that time<6256> Merodach-baladan<4757> son<1121> of Baladan<1081>, king<4428> of Babylon<894>, sent<7971> letters<5612> and a present<4503> to Hezekiah<2396>, for he heard<8085> that he had been<2470> sick<2470> and had recovered<2388>.
2Hezekiah<2396> was pleased<8055><5921>, and showed<7200> them all his treasure<5238> house<1004>, the silver<3701> and the gold<2091> and the spices<1314> and the precious<2896> oil<8081> and his whole<3605> armory<1004><3627> and all<3605> that was found<4672> in his treasuries<214>. There was nothing<3808><1697> in his house<1004> nor in all<3605> his dominion<4475> that Hezekiah<2396> did not show<7200> them.
3Then Isaiah<3470> the prophet<5030> came<935> to King<4428> Hezekiah<2396> and said<559> to him, "What<4100> did these<428> men<376> say<559>, and from where<370> have they come<935> to you?" And Hezekiah<2396> said<559>, "They have come<935> to me from a far<7350> country<776>, from Babylon<894>."
4He said<559>, "What<4100> have they seen<7200> in your house<1004>?" So Hezekiah<2396> answered<559>, "They have seen<7200> all<3605> that is in my house<1004>; there is nothing<3808><1697> among my treasuries<214> that I have not shown<7200> them."
5Then Isaiah<3470> said<559> to Hezekiah<2396>, "Hear<8085> the word<1697> of the LORD<3068> of hosts<6635>,
6'Behold<2009>, the days<3117> are coming<935> when all<3605> that is in your house<1004> and all that your fathers<1> have laid<686> up in store<686> to this<2088> day<3117> will be carried<5375> to Babylon<894>; nothing<3808><1697> will be left<3498>,' says<559> the LORD<3068>.
7'And some of your sons<1121> who<834> will issue<3318> from you, whom<834> you will beget<3205>, will be taken<3947> away, and they will become<1961> officials<5631> in the palace<1964> of the king<4428> of Babylon<894>.'"
8Then Hezekiah<2396> said<559> to Isaiah<3470>, "The word<1697> of the LORD<3068> which<834> you have spoken<1696> is good<2896>." For he thought<559>, "For there will be peace<7965> and truth<571> in my days<3117>."
