Jesaja 39:4 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 39:4

Then said he, what have they seen in thine house?
&c.] Coming nearer to the point he had in view, and which was the thing that was displeasing to the Lord; not that he had received the ambassadors, and used them in such a manner as persons in such a quality ought to be used; but that he had shown them what he ought not to have done, and especially from such a principle of pride and vanity as he did: and Hezekiah answered
without any reserve, very openly, not suspecting that the prophet was come with a reproof to him, or to blame him, or would blame him for what he had done: all that is in my house have they seen;
the several royal apartments, and the furniture of them: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not showed them:
which were more secret, laid up in cabinets, under lock and key; his gold, silver, jewels, and precious stones, spices, and ointments. Jerom thinks he showed them the furniture and vessels of the temple, though he does not mention them.

Jesaja 39:4 In-Context

2 Des freute sich Hiskia und zeigte ihnen das Schatzhaus, Silber und Gold und Spezerei, köstliche Salben und alle seine ZeughÀuser und alle SchÀtze, die er hatte. Nichts war, das ihnen Hiskia nicht zeigte in seinem Hause und in seiner Herrschaft.
3 Da kam der Prophet Jesaja zum König Hiskia und sprach zu ihm: Was sagen diese MÀnner, und woher kommen sie zu dir? Hiskia sprach: Sie kommen von fern zu mir, nÀmlich von Babel.
4 Er aber sprach: Was haben sie in deinem Hause gesehen? Hiskia sprach: Alles, was in meinem Hause ist, haben sie gesehen und ist nichts, das ich ihnen nicht hÀtte gezeigt in meinen SchÀtzen.
5 Und Jesaja sprach zu Hiskia: Höre das Wort des HERRN Zebaoth:
6 Siehe es kommt die Zeit, daß alles, was in deinem Hause ist und was deine VĂ€ter gesammelt haben bis auf diesen Tag, wird gen Babel gebracht werden, daß nichts bleiben wird, spricht der HERR.
