Isaiah 39:1-3

Modern English Version

Envoys From Babylon^(A)

39 At that time Marduk-Baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he had heard that he had been sick and had recovered. ² Hezekiah was glad and showed them the house of his precious things: the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and his whole armory, and all that was found in his treasuries. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah did not show them.

³ Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and said to him, “What did these men say, and from where did they come to you?”

And Hezekiah said, “They have come to me from a far country, from Babylon.”
