1 At that time hath Merodach-Baladan, son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah, when he heareth that he hath been sick, and is become strong. Babylon – Just as France once more favored Papacy. R3574:2*

2 And Hezekiah rejoiceth over them, and sheweth them the house of his spices, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the good ointment, and all the house of his vessels, and all that hath been found in his treasures; there hath not been a thing in his house, and in all his dominion, that Hezekiah hath not shewed them.
3 And Isaiah the prophet cometh in unto king Hezekiah, and saith unto him, 'What said these men and whence come they unto thee ' And Hezekiah saith, 'From a land afar off they have come unto me from Babylon.'
4 And he saith, 'What saw they in thy house ' and Hezekiah saith, 'All that [is] in my house they saw; there hath not been a thing that I have not shewed them among my treasures.'
5 And Isaiah saith unto Hezekiah, 'Hear a word of Jehovah of Hosts: Then said Isaiah – Reproving Hezekiah for unwisely showing the foreigners the great wealth of his treasuries. R2383:5

6 Lo, days are coming, and borne hath been all that [is] in thy house, and that thy fathers have treasured up till this day, to Babylon; there is not left a thing, said Jehovah;
7 and of thy sons who come forth from thee, whom thou begettest, they take, and they have been eunuchs in a palace of the king of Babylon.'
8 And Hezekiah saith unto Isaiah, 'Good [is] the word of Jehovah that thou hast spoken;' and he saith, 'Because there is peace and truth in my days.' Good is the word – Showing prompt resignation to the divine will. R2383:5

In my days – The King of Babylon would despoil the city, but not in Hezekiah's day. R2383:5
