*
At that time Berodach-Baladan the son of Baladan ,
king of Babylon ,
sent letters and a present to Hezekiah ,
for he heard that Hezekiah had been sick .
*
And Hezekiah was attentive to them ,
and showed them all the house of his treasures--the silver and gold ,
the spices and precious ointment ,
and all his armory--all that was found among his treasures .
There was nothing in his house or in all his dominion that Hezekiah did not show them .
*
Then Isaiah the prophet went to King Hezekiah ,
and said to him , "
What did these men say ,
and from where did they come to you ?"
So Hezekiah said , "
They came from a far country ,
from Babylon ."
*
And he said , "
What have they seen in your house ?"
So Hezekiah answered , "
They have seen all that is in my house ;
there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them ."
*
Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah , "
Hear the word of the LORD :
* "
Behold ,
the days are coming when all that is in your house ,
and what your fathers have accumulated until this day ,
shall be carried to Babylon ;
nothing shall be left ,'
says the LORD .
* "
And they shall take away some of your sons who will descend from you ,
whom you will beget ;
and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon ."'
*
So Hezekiah said to Isaiah , "
The word of the LORD which you have spoken is good !"
For he said , "
Will there not be peace and truth at least in my days ?"
*
Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah--all his might ,
and how he made a pool and a tunnel and brought water into the city--are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah ?
*
So Hezekiah rested with his fathers .
Then Manasseh his son reigned in his place .
