16 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, "Hear the word of the LORD.
17 'Behold, the days are coming when 1all that is in your house, and all that your fathers have laid up in store to this day will be carried to Babylon; nothing * shall be left,' says the LORD.
18 'Some 2of your sons who shall issue from you, whom you will beget, will be taken away; and they will become 3officials in the palace of the king of Babylon.' "
19 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "The word of the LORD which you have spoken is 4good." For he thought, "Is it not so, if there will be peace and truth in my days?"
20 5Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah and all his might, and how he 6made the pool and the conduit and brought water into the city, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles * of the Kings of Judah?
21 7So Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and Manasseh his son became king in his place.
