Then Isaiah the prophet went to King Hezekiah and asked him, “What did those men want? Where were they from?” Hezekiah replied, “They came from the distant land of Babylon.”
15
“What did they see in your palace?” Isaiah asked. “They saw everything,” Hezekiah replied. “I showed them everything I own—all my royal treasuries.”
16
Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Listen to this message from the LORD :
17
The time is coming when everything in your palace—all the treasures stored up by your ancestors until now—will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says the LORD .
18
Some of your very own sons will be taken away into exile. They will become eunuchs who will serve in the palace of Babylon’s king.”
