1At that time Merodach-baladan son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent documents and an offering to Hezekiah. He heard that he had been sick and had recovered.2Hezekiah rejoiced over them and showed them the house of his treasure, the silver and the gold and the spice and the pleasant oil and all the articles of his house and all that was found in his storehouses. There was no word that he did not show them in his house and in all his dominion.3Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and said to him, "What did these men say, and from where have they come to you?" And Hezekiah said, "From a distant land they have come to me, from Babylon."4And he said, "What have they seen in your house?" And Hezekiah said, "All that is in my house they have seen; there was no word that I did not show them in my storehouses."5And Isaiah said to Hezekiah, "Hear the word of the LORD of Hosts."6Behold, days are coming when all that is in your house and that your fathers stored up until this day will be carried to Babylon. No word will remain, says the LORD.7And some of your sons who will come out from you, whom you will beget, will be taken, and they will be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.8And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "The word of the LORD that you have spoken is pleasant." And he said, "For there will be peace and truth in my days."
