The Lord Is Still with Hezekiah

(Isaiah 39.1-8)

¹² Merodach^[b] Baladan, the son of Baladan, was now king of Babylonia.^[c] And when he learned that Hezekiah had been sick, he sent messengers with letters and a gift for him. ¹³ Hezekiah welcomed^[d] the messengers and showed them all the silver, the gold, the spices, and the fine oils that were in his storehouse. He even showed them where he kept his weapons. Nothing in his palace or in his entire kingdom was kept hidden from them.
