Contextual Overview

¹² At that time, Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters with an offering to Hezekiah, because he had news that Hezekiah had been ill. ¹³ And Hezekiah was glad at their coming and let them see all his store of wealth, the silver and the gold and the spices and the oil of great price, and the house of his arms, and everything there was in his stores; there was nothing in all his house or his kingdom which Hezekiah did not let them see. ¹⁴ Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and said to him, What did these men say and where did they come from? And Hezekiah said, They came from a far country, even from Babylon. ¹⁵ And he said, What have they seen in your house? And Hezekiah said in answer, They saw everything in my house: there is nothing among my stores which I did not let them see. ¹⁶ And Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Give ear to the word of the Lord. ¹⁷ Truly, days are coming when everything in your house, and whatever your fathers have put in store till this day, will be taken away to Babylon: all will be gone, says the Lord. ¹⁸ And your sons, the offspring of your body, they will take away to be unsexed servants in the house of the king of Babylon. ¹⁹ Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which you have said. Then he said, Three dots are used where it is no longer possible to be certain of the true sense of the Hebrew words, and for this reason no attempt has been made to put them into Basic English. if in my time there is peace and righteousness? ²⁰ Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his power, and how he made the pool and the stream, to take water into the town, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah? ²¹ And Hezekiah went to rest with his fathers; and Manasseh his son became king in his place.
