1 At that time, Merodach-baladanthe son
of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters
and a present to Hezekiah, for he heard
that he had been sick, and had recovered.

2 Hezekiah was pleased with them, and
showed them the house of his precious
things, the silver, the gold, the spices, and
the precious oil, and all the house of his
armor, and all that was found in his treasures.
There was nothing in his house, nor
in all his dominion, that Hezekiah didn’t
show them.

3 Then Isaiah the prophet came to King
Hezekiah, and asked him, “What did these
men say? From where did they come to
you?” Hezekiah said, “They have come from a
country far from me, even from Babylon.”

4 Then he asked, “What have they seen in
your house?” Hezekiah answered, “They have seen all
that is in my house. There is nothing
among my treasures that I have not shown
them.”
