2 Kings 20:12-19

12At that timeH6256 Berodach–baladanH1255, the sonH1121 of BaladanH1081, kingH4428 of BabylonH894, sentH7971 lettersH5612 and a presentH4503 unto HezekiahH2396: for he had heardH8085 that HezekiahH2396 had been sickH2470.1 13And HezekiahH2396 hearkenedH8085 unto them, and shewedH7200 them all the houseH1004 of his precious thingsH5238, the silverH3701, and the goldH2091, and the spicesH1314, and the preciousH2896 ointmentH8081, and all the houseH1004 of his armourH3627, and all that was foundH4672 in his treasuresH214: there was nothingH1697 in his houseH1004, nor in all his dominionH4475, that HezekiahH2396 shewedH7200 them not.23

14Then cameH935 IsaiahH3470 the prophetH5030 unto kingH4428 HezekiahH2396, and saidH559 unto him, What saidH559 these menH582? and from whenceH370 cameH935 they unto thee? And HezekiahH2396 saidH559, They are comeH935 from a farH7350 countryH776, even from BabylonH894. 15And he saidH559, What have they seenH7200 in thine houseH1004? And HezekiahH2396 answeredH559, All the things that are in mine houseH1004 have they seenH7200: there is nothingH1697 among my treasuresH214 that I have not shewedH7200 them. 16And IsaiahH3470 saidH559 unto HezekiahH2396, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068. 17Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, that all that is in thine houseH1004, and that which thy fathersH1 have laid up in storeH686 unto this dayH3117, shall be carriedH5375 into BabylonH894: nothingH1697 shall be leftH3498, saithH559 YhwhH3068. 18And of thy sonsH1121 that shall issueH3318 from thee, which thou shalt begetH3205, shall they take awayH3947; and they shall be eunuchsH5631 in the palaceH1964 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894. 19Then saidH559 HezekiahH2396 unto IsaiahH3470, GoodH2896 is the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068 which thou hast spokenH1696. And he saidH559, Is it not good, if peaceH7965 and truthH571 be in my daysH3117?4
