Context of Isaiah 39:4

2Hezekiah was so happy with them that he showed the messengers his warehouse: the silver, gold, balsam, fine olive oil, his entire armory, and everything in his treasury. Hezekiah showed them everything in his palace and every corner of his kingdom. 3Then the prophet Isaiah came to King Hezekiah and asked, “What did these men say? And where did they come from?” Hezekiah answered, “They came to me from the distant country of Babylon.” Isaiah asked, “What did they see in your palace?” Hezekiah answered, “They saw everything in my palace, and I showed them everything in my treasury.” 5Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the Lord of Armies! 6The Lord says, ‘The days are going to come when everything in your palace, everything your ancestors have stored up to this day, will be taken away to Babylon. Nothing will be left.
