New King James Version
The Babylonian Envoys(A)
12 (B)At that time [a]Berodach-Baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he heard that Hezekiah had been sick. 13 And (C)Hezekiah was attentive to them, and showed them all the house of his treasures—the silver and gold, the spices and precious ointment, and [b]all [c]his armory—all that was found among his treasures. There was nothing in his house or in all his dominion that Hezekiah did not show them.
14 Then Isaiah the prophet went to King Hezekiah, and said to him, “What did these men say, and from where did they come to you?”
So Hezekiah said, “They came from a far country, from Babylon.”
15 And he said, “What have they seen in your house?”
So Hezekiah answered, (D)“They have seen all that is in my house; there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.”
16 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the Lord: 17 ‘Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and what your fathers have accumulated until this day, (E)shall be carried to Babylon; nothing shall be left,’ says the Lord. 18 ‘And (F)they shall take away some of your sons who will [d]descend from you, whom you will beget; (G)and they shall be (H)eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.’ ”
19 So Hezekiah said to Isaiah, (I)“The word of the Lord which you have spoken is good!” For he said, “Will there not be peace and truth at least in my days?”
