1At that time Merodach-baladan , the son of Baladan , king of Babylon , sent letters and a present to Hezekiah : for he had heard that he had been sick , and was recovered . 2And Hezekiah was glad of them, and shewed them the house of his precious things , the silver , and the gold , and the spices , and the precious ointment , 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 , that Hezekiah shewed them not. 3Then 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 are come from a far country unto me, even from Babylon . 4Then said he, What have they seen in thine house ? And Hezekiah answered , All that is in mine house have they seen : there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them. 5Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah , Hear the word of the LORD of hosts : 6Behold, the days come , that all that is in thine house , and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day , shall be carried to Babylon : nothing shall be left , saith the LORD . 7And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget , shall they take away ; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon . 8Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah , Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken . He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days .
