2 Kings 20:12-19

21st Century King James Version

¹² At that time Berodachbaladan, the son of Baladan king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah, for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.

¹³ And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and showed them all the house of his precious things: the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasuries. There was nothing in his house nor in all his dominion that Hezekiah showed them not.

¹⁴ Then came Isaiah the prophet unto King Hezekiah and said unto him, “What said these men? And from whence came they unto thee?” And Hezekiah said, “They have come from a far country, even from Babylon.”

¹⁵ And he said, “What have they seen in thine house?” And Hezekiah answered, “All the things that are in mine house have they seen. There is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.”

¹⁶ And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the Lord:

¹⁷ ‘Behold, the days come that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon; nothing shall be left,’ saith the Lord.

¹⁸ ‘And of thy sons who shall issue from thee, whom thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.’”

¹⁹ Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, “Good is the word of the Lord which thou hast spoken.” And he said, “Is it not good, if peace and truth be in my days?”
