14. Then Isaiah the prophet went to King Hezekiah and asked him, “What did these men say? Where did they come from?”Hezekiah said, “They came from a faraway country—from Babylon.”
15. So Isaiah asked him, “What did they see in your palace?”Hezekiah said, “They saw everything in my palace. I showed them all my wealth.”
16. Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Listen to the words of the Lord:
17. ‘In the future everything in your palace and everything your ancestors have stored up until this day will be taken away to Babylon. Nothing will be left,’ says the Lord.
18. ‘Some of your own children, those who will be born to you, will be taken away. And they will become servants in the palace of the king of Babylon.’ ”
19. Hezekiah told Isaiah, “These words from the Lord are good.” He said this because he thought, “There will be peace and security in my lifetime.”
20. Everything else Hezekiah did—all his victories, his work on the pool, his work on the tunnel to bring water into the city—is written in the book of the history of the kings of Judah.
21. Then Hezekiah died, and his son Manasseh became king in his place.
