2 Kings 20:13

2 Kings 20:12-19

¹²At that time Berodach-baladan son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah, for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick. ¹³Hezekiah listened to them, and showed them all his treasure house: the silver, the gold, the spices, and the fine oil, and his armory, and all that was found in his treasuries; there was not a thing that Hezekiah did not show them in his house or in all his dominion. ¹⁴Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and said to him, “What did these men say, and from where do they come to you?” Hezekiah said, “From a distant land they have come, from Babylon.” ¹⁵He said, “What have they seen in your house?” Hezekiah said, “All that is in my house they have seen; there is not a thing that I have not shown them among my treasures.” ¹⁶Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of YHWH: ¹⁷‘Look, days are coming when all that is in your house, and what your fathers have stored up until this day, will be carried to Babylon; not a thing will be left, says YHWH. ¹⁸And some of your sons who will come out from you, whom you will father, they will take; and they will be officials in the palace of the king of Babylon.’” ¹⁹Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “Good is the word of YHWH that you have spoken.” And he said, “Is it not so, if there will be peace and truth in my days?”

Isaiah 39:1-8

¹At that time Merodach-baladan son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah, for he had heard that he had been sick and had recovered. ²Hezekiah was glad because of them, and showed them his treasure house: the silver, the gold, the spices, and the fine oil, and all his armory, and all that was found in his treasuries; there was not a thing that Hezekiah did not show them in his house or in all his dominion. ³Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and said to him, “What did these men say, and from where do they come to you?” Hezekiah said, “From a distant land they have come to me, from Babylon.” ⁴He said, “What have they seen in your house?” Hezekiah said, “All that is in my house they have seen; there is not a thing that I have not shown them among my treasures.” ⁵Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of YHWH Tsevaot: ⁶‘Look, days are coming when all that is in your house, and what your fathers have stored up until this day, will be carried to Babylon; not a thing will be left, says YHWH. ⁷And some of your sons who will come out from you, whom you will father, they will take; and they will be officials in the palace of the king of Babylon.’” ⁸Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “Good is the word of YHWH that you have spoken.” And he said, “For there will be peace and truth in my days.”
