Context Readings

Hezekiah Reveals Too Much To A Babylonian Envoy

11 And Isaiah the prophet cried unto Yahweh, and he caused the shadow on the steps by which it had gone down on the steps of Ahaz to go back, ten steps. 12 At that time, Berodach-baladan son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present, unto Hezekiah, - for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick. 13 And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed them all his house of precious things - the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and his armoury, and all that was found among his treasures, - there was, nothing, that Hezekiah shewed them not, in his house or in all his dominion.
