2 Kings 20:18 In-Context

16 Isaiah said to Hezekiah, "Hear the word of the LORD!
17 The LORD says, 'The days are going to come when everything in your palace, everything your ancestors have stored up to this day, will be taken away to Babylon. Nothing will be left.
18 Some of your own descendants will be taken away. They will become officials in the palace of the king of Babylon.'"
19 Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "The LORD's word that you have spoken is good." He added, "Isn't it enough if there is peace and security as long as I live?"
20 Isn't everything else about Hezekiah, all his heroic acts and how he made the pool and tunnel to bring water into the city, written in the official records of the kings of Judah?
