Envoys from Babylon |

32.27-31 |
1 |
At that time Mer'odach-bal'adan, the son
of Bal'adan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to
Hezeki'ah: for he had heard that he had been sick, and was
recovered.
|
2 |
And Hezeki'ah was glad of them, and
showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the
gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, 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 Hezeki'ah showed
them not.
|
3 |
Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king
Hezeki'ah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence
came they unto thee? And Hezeki'ah said, They are come from a far
country unto me, even from Babylon.
|
4 |
Then said he, What have they seen in
thine house? And Hezeki'ah answered, All that is in mine
house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I
have not showed them.
|
5 |
Then said Isaiah to Hezeki'ah, Hear the
word of the LORD of hosts:
|
6 |
Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have
laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon:
nothing shall be left, saith the LORD.
|
7 |
And of thy sons that shall issue from
thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall
be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon. Dan. 1.1-7 · 2 Kgs. 24.10-16 · 2 Chr.

Then said Hezeki'ah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast
spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my
days.
