1599 Geneva Bible
12 (A)The same season Berodach-Baladan the son of Baladan king of Babylon sent letters and a [a]present to Hezekiah: for he had heard how that Hezekiah was sick.
13 And Hezekiah heard them, and showed them all his treasure house, to wit, 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 treasures: there was nothing in his house, and in all his [b]realm, that Hezekiah showed them not.
14 Then Isaiah the Prophet came unto King Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they to thee? And Hezekiah said, They be come from a far country, even from Babylon.
