Laetatus est autem in adventu eorum Ezechias et ostendit eis totam domum thesauri sui, argentum et aurum et aromata et oleum optimum et domum vasorum suorum et omnia, quae inventa sunt in thesauris suis: non fuit, quod non monstraret eis Ezechias in domo sua et in omni potestate sua.

Clementine Latin Vulgate (1592)
Et ecce propheta unus accedens ad Achab regem Isral, ait ei : Hc dicit Dominus : Certe vidisti omnem multitudinem hanc nimiam ? Ecce, ego tradam eam in manu tua hodie : ut scias, quia ego sum Dominus.
Jerome's Latin Vulgate (405)
Ltatus est autem in adventu eorum Ezechias, et ostendit eis domum aromatum, et aurum et argentum, et pigmenta varia, unguenta quoque, et domum vasorum suorum, et omnia qu habere poterat in thesauris suis. Non fuit quod non monstraret eis Ezechias in domo sua, et in omni potestate sua.

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.
