At thattimeMerodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sentletters and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heardthat he had beensick, and was recovered.
And Hezekiah was glad of them, and shewedthem the house of his preciousthings, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the preciousointment, 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, thatHezekiahshewedthem not.
ThencameIsaiah the prophetuntokingHezekiah, and saidunto him, Whatsaidthese men? and fromwhencecametheyuntothee? And Hezekiahsaid, They are comefrom a far countryunto me, evenfromBabylon.
Thensaid he, Whathavetheyseen in thinehouse? And Hezekiahanswered, All that is in minehousehavetheyseen: there is nothingamong my treasuresthat I have not shewedthem.
Behold, the dayscome, that all that is in thinehouse, and thatwhich thy fathershavelaid up in storeuntilthis day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothingshall be left, saith the LORD.
