2 Kings 20:12-20

12At that time 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.

13And HezekiahH2396 hearkened unto them, and shewed them allH3605 the houseH1004 of his precious things, the silverH3701, and the goldH2091, and the spicesH1314, and the precious oilH8081, and the houseH1004 of his armour, and allH3605 that was foundH4672 in his treasuresH214: there was nothingH3808 in his houseH1004, norH3808 in allH3605 his dominion that HezekiahH2396 shewed them notH3808.

14Then cameH935 IsaiahH3470 the prophetH5030 unto kingH4428 HezekiahH2396, and saidH559 unto him, WhatH4100 saidH559 theseH428 menH376? and from whence cameH935 they unto thee? And HezekiahH2396 saidH559, They are comeH935 from a farH7350 countryH776, evenH776 from BabylonH894.

15And he saidH559, WhatH4100 have they seenH7200 in thine houseH1004? And HezekiahH2396 answeredH559, AllH3605 that is in mine houseH1004 have they seenH7200: there is nothingH3808 among my treasuresH214 that I have notH3808 shewed them.

16And IsaiahH3470 saidH559 unto HezekiahH2396, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.

17BeholdH2009, the daysH3117 comeH935, that allH3605 that is in thine houseH1004, and that whichH834 thy fathersH1 have laidH686 upH5375 in storeH686 unto this dayH3117, shall be carriedH5375 to BabylonH894: nothingH3808 shall be leftH3498, saith the LORDH3068.

18And of thy sonsH1121 that shall issueH3318 from thee, whichH834 thou shalt begetH3205, shall they takeH3947 awayH3947; and they shall be eunuchsH5631 in the palaceH1964 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.

19Then saidH559 HezekiahH2396 unto IsaiahH3470, GoodH2896 is the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 whichH834 thou hast spokenH1696. He saidH559 moreoverH1696, Is it notH3808 soH1961, ifH518 peaceH7965 and truthH571 shall be in my daysH3117?

20NowH3117 the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of HezekiahH2396, and allH3605 his might, and howH834 he madeH6213 the poolH1295, and the conduit, and broughtH935 waterH4325 intoH935 the cityH5892, are they notH3808 writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063?
