Messengers from Babylonia

39About that same time the king of Babylonia, Merodach Baladan, son of Baladan, heard that King Hezekiah had been sick, so he sent him a letter and a present.H6256H4757H1121H1081H4428H894H7971H5612H4503H2396H8085H2470H2388 2Hezekiah welcomed the messengers and showed them his wealth - his silver and gold, his spices and perfumes, and all his military equipment. There was nothing in his storerooms or anywhere in his kingdom that he did not show them.H2396H8055H7200H1004H5238H3701H2091H1314H2896H8081H1004H3627H4672H214H1697H1004H4475H2396H7200 3Then the prophet Isaiah went to King Hezekiah and asked, "Where did these messengers come from and what did they say to you?" Hezekiah answered, "They came from a very distant country, from Babylonia."H935H3470H5030H4428H2396H559H559H582H370H935H2396H559H935H7350H776H894 4"What did they see in the palace?" "They saw everything. There is nothing in the storerooms that I didn't show them."H559H7200H1004H2396H559H1004H7200H1697H214H7200 5Isaiah then told the king, "The LORD Almighty says thatH559H3470H2396H8085H1697H3068H6635 6a time is coming when everything in your palace, everything that your ancestors have stored up to this day, will be carried off to Babylonia. Nothing will be left.H3117H935H1004H1H686H3117H5375H894H1697H3498H559H3068 7Some of your own direct descendants will be taken away and made eunuchs to serve in the palace of the king of Babylonia."H1121H3318H3205H3947H5631H1964H4428H894 8King Hezekiah understood this to mean that there would be peace and security during his lifetime, so he replied, "The message you have given me from the LORD is good."H559H2396H3470H2896H1697H3068H1696H559H7965H571H3117
