*
And at that time sent Berodach
baladan ,
the son of Baladan ,
the king of Babylon ,
letters and a present unto Hezekiah ;
for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick .
*
And Hezekiah listened unto them ,
and showed them the whole of his treasure
house ,
the silver ,
and the gold ,
and the spices ,
and the precious oil ,
and the whole of his armor
house ,
and all that was found in his treasures :
there was nothing that Hezekiah showed them not ,
in his house and in all his dominion .
*
Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah ,
and said unto him ,
What did these men say ?
and whence did they come unto thee ?
And Hezekiah said ,
From a far off country are they come ,
from Babylon .
*
And he said ,
What did they see in thy house ?
And Hezekiah answered ,
All that is in my house have they seen :
there was nothing that I did not show them in my treasures .
*
And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah ,
Hear the word of the Lord ,
*
Behold ,
days are coming ,
when all that is in thy house ,
and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day ,
shall be carried to Babylon :
nothing shall be left ,
saith the Lord .
*
And of thy sons that will issue from thee ,
whom thou wilt beget ,
shall they take ;
and they shall be court
servants in the palace of the king of Babylon .
*
Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah ,
Good is the word of the Lord which thou hast spoken .
And he said ,
Is it not so ,
if there be peace and stability in my days ?
*
And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah ,
and all his mighty deeds ,
and how he made the pool ,
and the aqueduct ,
and brought the water into the city ,
behold ,
they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah .
*
And Hezekiah slept with his fathers :
and Menasseh his son became king in his stead .
