Berean Standard Bible
At that time Merodach-baladan the
son of Baladan ,
king of Babylon ,
sent letters and a present
to Hezekiah ;
for he heard
that
he
had been
sick,
and was
recovered
.
At that time Merodach-baladan son of Baladan king of Babylon sent letters and a gift
to Hezekiah ,
for he had heard
about
Hezekiah’s
illness
and recovery
.
And Hezekiah was
glad
of
them,
and showed them the
house
of
his precious
things,
the silver, and
the gold, and
the spices, and the precious oil, and
all
the
house
of
his armor,
and
all that was found in his treasures:
there was nothing in his house,
nor
in all his dominion ,
that Hezekiah showed
them
not.
And Hezekiah welcomed
the
envoys
gladly
and showed them what
was
in
his treasure
house—
the silver, the gold, the spices, and the precious oil, as
well
as
his entire
armory—
all that was found in his storehouses.
There was nothing in his palace
or
in all his dominion that Hezekiah did
not show
them
.
Then came
Isaiah
the prophet unto
king Hezekiah ,
and said
unto
him
, What
said
these
men ?
and
from whence
came
they unto
thee
? And
Hezekiah
said,
They are
come
from a far
country
unto
me
, even
from Babylon.
Then the prophet Isaiah
went
to
King Hezekiah and asked
, “Where
did
those
men come
from ,
and
what
did
they say
to
you
? ”
“
They came
to
me
from a distant
land
, ”
Hezekiah
replied,
“
from Babylon. ”
Then
said
he,
What have they seen in thy
house
? And
Hezekiah
answered,
All
that
is
in
my
house
have
they seen :
there is nothing among my treasures that I have
not showed
them.
“
What have they seen in your
palace
? ”
Isaiah
asked.
“
They have
seen everything
in
my
palace,”
answered
Hezekiah.
“
There is nothing among my treasures that I did
not show
them. ”
Then said
Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of Jehovah
of hosts:
Then Isaiah said
to Hezekiah, “
Hear the word of the
LORD
of Hosts:
Behold,
the 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
Jehovah
.
The time
will
surely
come
when everything
in your
palace
and all
that your
fathers have stored
up until this day will
be carried off
to Babylon .
Nothing will
be left, says
the
LORD
.
And of thy
sons
that
shall
issue
from
thee
, whom
thou
shalt
beget
, shall
they
take
away ;
and
they
shall
be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
And some
of your
descendants
, your
own
flesh
and
blood
, will
be
taken
away to
be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon. ”
Then
said
Hezekiah unto
Isaiah, Good
is
the word of Jehovah
which
thou
hast
spoken. He said
moreover
, For
there shall
be peace and truth
in my days
.
But
Hezekiah said
to
Isaiah, “
The word of the
LORD
that
you
have
spoken is
good
. ”
For
he thought
, “At
least
there will
be peace and security
in my lifetime
. ”
