* At that time Berodach-Baladan , the son of Baladan , king of Babylon , sent a letter and a present to Hezekiah , for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick . * And Hezekiah hearkened to them , and shewed them all his treasure-house , the silver and the gold , and the spices and the fine oil , and all the house of his armour , and all that was found among his treasures : there was nothing in his house , nor in all his dominion , that Hezekiah did not shew them . * Then came the prophet Isaiah to king Hezekiah and said to him , What said these men ? and from whence came they to thee ? And Hezekiah said , They came from a far country , from Babylon . * And he said , What have they seen in thy house ? And Hezekiah said , All that is in my house have they seen : there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewn them . * And Isaiah said to Hezekiah , Hear the word of Jehovah : * Behold , days come that all that is in thy house , and what thy fathers have laid up until this day , shall be carried to Babylon ; nothing shall be left , saith Jehovah . * And of thy sons that shall issue from thee , whom thou shalt beget , shall they take away ; and they shall be chamberlains in the palace of the king of Babylon . * And Hezekiah said to Isaiah , Good is the word of Jehovah which thou hast spoken . And he said , Is it not so ? if only there shall be peace and truth in my days ! * And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah , and all his might , and how he made the pool and the aqueduct , and brought the water into the city , are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah ? * And Hezekiah slept with his fathers ; and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead .
