39 At that time, Merodach Baladan, the son of Baladan, the king of Babylon, sent writings and a gift to Hezekiah, for he had heard that he had been sick and had become strong. 2 And Hezekiah rejoiced upon them, and he showed them the house of his treasure, the silver and the gold and the spices and the fine oil and all of the house of his armor and all that was found in his treasuries. There was not a thing that Hezekiah did not show them in his house or in all of his realm. 3 And Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and said to him, “What did these men say, and from where did they come to you?” And Hezekiah said, “They came to me from a distant land, from Babylon.” 4 And he said, “What did they see in your house?” And Hezekiah said, “They saw everything that is in my house. There was not a thing in my treasuries that I did not show them.”

5 And Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of Yahweh of Armies. 6 ‘Behold, days are coming when everything that is in your house and that your fathers have stored up to this day will be carried away to Babylon. A thing will not be left,’ says Yahweh. 7 ‘And they will take some of your sons who will come forth from you, whom you will beget, and they will be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.’ ” 8 And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of Yahweh that you have spoken is good.” For he said, “For there will be peace and stability in my days.”
