20:17 shall be carried to Babylon. Isaiah rebukes a naive Hezekiah. The same treasures which might induce a treaty, might also attract an invasion. This prophecy was fulfilled by a Babylonian invasion in 598 b.c. and by the Babylonian exile of 586 b.c. Having sought refuge with the Babylonians, Hezekiah discovers that the Babylonians will ultimately be Judah’s ruin.
