Envoys From Babylon
39:1 At that time Merodachbaladan, 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.
39:2 And 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.
39:3 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 are come from a far
country unto me, even from Babylon.
39:4 Then 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.
39:5 Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the
LORD of hosts:
39:6 Behold, 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.
39:7 And 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.
39:8 Then 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. |
