The personal name of the God of Israel, written in Hebrew with four letters, Y-H-W-H, without vowels. Out of reverence Jews stopped pronouncing it and read "Adonai" (Lord), so many Bibles put "the LORD" or "Jehovah". This translation keeps the four letters. The name is related to the verb "to be" (Exodus 3:14-15). He is not a god other than Elohim: "YHWH Elohim" is the same Creator God, called by his name.

The envoys from Babylon
2 Kings 20:12-192 Chronicles 32:31
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.”
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?”
31And so, with the interpreters of the officials of Babylon, who sent to him to inquire about the wonder that had happened in the land, Elohim left him, to test him, to know all that was in his heart.
Babylon
Today: Babylon ruins, near Hillah, Iraq
A great city on the Euphrates River, in present-day Iraq, about 53 miles (85 km) south of Baghdad.
In its land the languages were confused at Babel (Gen 11:9). Nebuchadnezzar destroyed Jerusalem and took the people captive there (2 Kgs 25:1-11). Daniel lived there (Dan 1:1-6).
5Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of YHWH Tsevaot:
6 · This verse (above)
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.’”
