Et Ezéchias les ayant entendus leur montra tous ses cabinets les plus curieux, l'argent, et l'or, et les aromates, et ses huiles de senteur, et tout son arsenal, et tout ce qui se trouvait dans ses trésors; il n'y eut rien dans sa maison et dans toute sa cour qu'Ezéchias ne leur montrât.

La Bible Ostervald (1996)
Et Ézéchias, ayant donné audience aux messagers, leur montra son trésor, l'argent, l'or, et les aromates, et l'huile précieuse, tout son arsenal, et tout ce qui se trouvait dans ses trésors. Il n'y eut rien qu'Ézéchias ne leur montrât dans sa maison et dans tout son domaine.
Darby's French Translation
Et Ézéchias écouta les messagers, et leur montra toute la maison où étaient renfermés ses objets précieux, l'argent et l'or, et les aromates et l'huile fine, et tout son arsenal, et tout ce qui se trouvait dans ses trésors; il n'y eut rien qu'Ézéchias ne leur montrât dans sa maison et dans tous ses domaines.
Louis Segond (1910)
Ezéchias donna audience aux envoyés, et il leur montra le lieu où étaient ses choses de prix, l'argent et l'or, les aromates et l'huile précieuse, son arsenal, et tout ce qui se trouvait dans ses trésors: il n'y eut rien qu'Ezéchias ne leur fît voir dans sa maison et dans tous ses domaines.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed them - The Jewish king lent a favorable ear to the proposals of the ambassadors, and exhibited to them the resources which he possessed, in order to induce them to report well of him to their master.

All the house of his precious things - literally, the “spice-house;” the phrase had acquired the more generic sense of “treasure-house” from the fact that the gold, the silver, and the spices were all stored together.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 20:13. Hezekiah hearkened unto them — Instead of וישמע vaiyishma, he hearkened, וישמח vaiyismach, he rejoiced or was glad, is the reading of twelve of Kennicott's and De Rossi's MSS., the parallel place, Isaiah 39:2, the Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate, Arabic, some copies of the Targum, and the Babylonian Talmud.

All the house of his precious things — Interpreters are not well agreed about the meaning of the original נכתה nechothoh, which we here translate precious things, and in the margin spicery or jewels. I suppose the last to be meant.

There was nothing in his house — He showed them through a spirit of folly and exultation, all his treasures, and no doubt those in the house of the Lord. And it is said, 2 Chronicles 32:31, that in this business God left him to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart; and this trial proved that in his heart there was little else than pride and folly.
