At that time Merodach-baladan the son of Baladan, king of
Babylon, sent a letter and a present to Hezekiah; for he heard that he had been
sick, and was recovered
39:002
And Hezekiah was glad of them, and showed them his
treasure-house, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil,
and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures; there
was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah showed them
not
39:003
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.
39:004
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 shown them.
39:005
Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah: 'Hear the word of HaShem of
hosts
39:006
Behold, the days come, that 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 HaShem
39:007
And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, whom thou shalt
beget, shall they take away; and they shall be officers in the palace of the
king of Babylon.
39:008
Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah: 'Good is the word of HaShem
which thou hast spoken.' He said moreover: 'If but there shall be peace and
truth in my days.
