Hezekiah
Shows His Treasures |
|
|
 |
| Isaiah 39:1 |
|
At that time Merodach-baladan son of Baladan,
king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he heard that he
had been sick and had recovered. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 39:2 |
|
Hezekiah was pleased, and showed them all his
treasure house, the silver and the gold and the spices and the precious oil and
his whole armory and all that was found in his treasuries. There was nothing in
his house nor in all his dominion that Hezekiah did not show them. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 39:3 |
|
Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah
and said to him, "What did these men say, and from where have they come to you?"
And Hezekiah said, "They have come to me from a far country, from Babylon." |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 39:4 |
|
He said, "What have they seen in your house?"
So Hezekiah answered, "They have seen all that is in my house; there is nothing
among my treasuries that I have not shown them." |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 39:5 |
|
Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, "Hear the word
of the LORD of hosts, |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 39:6 |
|
'Behold, the days are coming when all that is
in your house and all that your fathers have laid up in store to this day will
be carried to Babylon; nothing will be left,' says the LORD. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 39:7 |
|
'And some of your sons who will issue from you,
whom you will beget, will be taken away, and they will become officials in the
palace of the king of Babylon.'" |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 39:8 |
|
Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "The word of the
LORD which you have spoken is good." For he thought, "For there will be peace
and truth in my days." |
