Hezekiah Shows His Treasures

39 ^(A)At that time Merodach-baladan son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah, for he heard that he had been sick and had recovered. ² Hezekiah ^[a]was ^(B)pleased, and let them see all his treasure house, the ^(C)silver, the gold, the balsam oil, the excellent olive oil, his entire armory, and everything that was found in his treasuries. There was nothing in his house nor in all his realm that Hezekiah did not let them see. ³ Then Isaiah the ^(D)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 came to me from a far ^(E)country, from Babylon.”
