At that time Berodachbaladan B @

dak Bal #
adan #,
the son of Baladan Bal #
adan #,
king of Babylon ,
sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah :
for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick .
*
And Hezekiah hearkened unto them ,
and shewed them all 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 .
*
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 ,
even from Babylon .
*
And he said ,
What have they seen in thine house ?
And Hezekiah answered ,
All the things that are in mine house have they seen :
there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them .
*
And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah ,
Hear the word of the LORD .
*
Behold ,
the days come ,
that all that is in thine house ,
and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day ,
shall be carried into Babylon :
nothing shall be left ,
saith the LORD .
*
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 .
*
Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah Y @

Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken .
And he said ,
Is it not good ,
if peace and truth be in my days ?
