2 Kings 20:12-19
121At that timeH6256 2Berodach-baladanH1255, a sonH1121 of BaladanH1081, kingH4428 of BabylonH894, sentH7971 lettersH5612 and a giftH4503 to HezekiahH2396, becauseH3588 he heardH8085 that HezekiahH2396 had beenH2470 sickH2470. 13And HezekiahH2396 listenedH8085 to 3them, and showedH7200 them 4allH3605 his treasureH5238 houseH1004, the silverH3701, the goldH2091, the balsamH1314 oilH1314, the 5scentedH2896 oilH8081, the houseH1004 of his armorH3627, and everythingH3605 that was foundH4672 in his treasuriesH214. There was nothingH3808H1697 in his houseH1004 norH3808 in allH3605 his realmH4475 that HezekiahH2396 did not showH7200 them. 14Then IsaiahH3470 the prophetH5030 cameH935 to KingH4428 HezekiahH2396 and saidH559 to him, “WhatH4100 did theseH428 menH376 sayH559, and from whereH370 have they comeH935 to you?” And HezekiahH2396 saidH559, “They have comeH935 from a farH7350 countryH776, from BabylonH894.” 15Isaiah saidH559, “WhatH4100 have they seenH7200 in your houseH1004?” So HezekiahH2396 6answeredH559, “They have seenH7200 everythingH3605 that is in my houseH1004; there is nothingH3808H1697 among my treasuriesH214 that I have not shownH7200 them.”
16Then IsaiahH3470 saidH559 to HezekiahH2396, “HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068: 17‘BeholdH2009, the daysH3117 are comingH935 when 7everythingH3605 that is in your houseH1004, and whatH834 your fathersH1 have storedH686 up to thisH2088 dayH3117, will be carriedH5375 to BabylonH894; nothingH3808H1697 will be leftH3498,’ saysH559 the LordH3068. 18‘And someH4480 8of your sonsH1121 whoH834 will comeH3318 from you, whomH834 you will fatherH3205, will be takenH3947 away; and they will becomeH1961 9officialsH5631 in the palaceH1964 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.’” 19Then HezekiahH2396 saidH559 to IsaiahH3470, “The wordH1697 of the LordH3068 whichH834 you have spokenH1696 is 10goodH2896.” For he 11thoughtH559, “Is it not good, ifH518 there will be peaceH7965 and 12securityH571 in my daysH3117?”
