Isaiah

Isaiah 39:1–2

¹At that time Merodach-baladan son of Baladan king of Babylon sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah, for he had heard about Hezekiah’s illness and recovery. ²And Hezekiah welcomed the envoys gladly and showed them what was in his treasure house — the silver, the gold, the spices, and the precious oil, as well as his entire armory — all that was found in his storehouses. There was nothing in his palace or in all his dominion that Hezekiah did not show them.
