2 Kings 20:18 In-Context

16 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, "Hear the word of the Lord:
17 'The time will certainly come when everything in your palace and all that your fathers have stored up until this day will be carried off to Babylon; nothing will be left,' says the Lord.
18 'Some of your descendants who come from you will be taken away, and they will become eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.' "
19 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "The word of the Lord that you have spoken is good," for he thought: Why not, if there will be peace and security during my lifetime?
20 The rest of the events of Hezekiah's [reign], along with all his might and how he made the pool and the tunnel and brought water into the city, are written about in the Historical Record of Judah's Kings.
