- 1At that time, Merodach-Baladan son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah, for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick and had recovered.
- 2Hezekiah was glad about them and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, the gold, the spices, the precious ointment, his entire armory, and everything in his treasures. There was nothing in his house or in all his dominion that Hezekiah did not show them.
- 3Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and asked him, "What did these men say to you? Where did they come from?" Hezekiah answered, "They came from a distant country — all the way from Babylon."
- 4Isaiah asked, "What have they seen in your house?" Hezekiah replied, "They have seen everything in my house; there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them."
- 5Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, "Listen to the word of the LORD of hosts:
- 6"Look, the days are coming when everything in your house and all that your fathers have stored up until this day will be carried to Babylon. Nothing will be left," says the LORD.
- 7And they will take away some of your sons who will come from you, whom you will father, and they will be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
- 8Hezekiah responded to Isaiah, "The word of the LORD that you've spoken is good." Then he added, "For there will be peace and truth in my days."
