2 Kings 20:19 In-Context

17 The days are nearly here when everything in your palace and all that your ancestors collected up to now will be carried off to Babylon. Not a single thing will be left, says the LORD.

18 Some of your children, your very own offspring, will be taken away. They will become eunuchs in the palace of Babylon's king."

19 Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "The LORD's word that you've spoken is good," because he thought: There will be peace and security in my lifetime.

20 The rest of Hezekiah's deeds and all his powerful acts—how he made the pool and the channel and brought water inside the city—aren't they written in the official records of Judah's kings?

21 Hezekiah lay down with his ancestors. His son Manasseh succeeded him as king.
