3. I asked Hezekiah, “Where did these men come from? What did they want?”“They came all the way from Babylonia,” Hezekiah answered.
4. “What did you show them?” I asked.Hezekiah answered, “I showed them everything in my kingdom.”
5. Then I told Hezekiah:I have a message for you from the Lord All-Powerful.
6. One day everything you and your ancestors have stored up will be taken to Babylonia. The Lord has promised that nothing will be left.
7. Some of your own sons will be taken to Babylonia, where they will be disgraced and made to serve in the king's palace.
8. Hezekiah thought, “At least our nation will be at peace for a while.” So he told me, “The message you brought from the Lord is good.”
