Isaiah 39

King Hezekiah, after his recovery, receives envoys from Babylon. Foolishly, Hezekiah shows the Babylonian delegation all his treasures, armaments, and storehouses—everything in his palace. Isaiah confronts Hezekiah about this display of human pride and reliance on earthly security. Isaiah then delivers a solemn prophecy: a time is coming when everything in the palace will be carried off to Babylon, and some of Hezekiah’s own descendants will be taken and made eunuchs in the Babylonian court.
