At that time, Merodach-baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he heard that he had been sick, and had recovered. See also: 2 Kings 20:12-192 Chronicles 32:232 Samuel 10:2Hezekiah was pleased with them, and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, the gold, the spices, and the precious oil, and all the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah didn’t show them. See also: 2 Chronicles 32:312 Chronicles 32:25Jeremiah 17:9Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah, and asked him, “What did these men say? From where did they come to you?” Hezekiah said, “They have come from a country far from me, even from Babylon.” See also: Deuteronomy 28:492 Chronicles 16:72 Samuel 12:1Then he asked, “What have they seen in your house?” Hezekiah answered, “They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.” See also: 1 John 1:9Proverbs 28:13Joshua 7:19Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the LORD of Armies: See also: 1 Samuel 13:13-141 Samuel 15:16‘Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have stored up until today, will be carried to Babylon. Nothing will be left,’ says the LORD. See also: 2 Kings 25:13-15Jeremiah 20:52 Kings 24:13‘They will take away your sons who will issue from you, whom you shall father, and they will be eunuchs in the king of Babylon’s palace.’” See also: Daniel 1:1-72 Chronicles 36:102 Kings 24:12Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The LORD’s word which you have spoken is good.” He said moreover, “For there will be peace and truth in my days.” See also: 2 Chronicles 32:262 Chronicles 34:281 Peter 5:6

Notes · Haydock (1859, public domain)2 notes
Notes in English 19th-century Catholic commentary by Fr. George Leo Haydock, shown as published.
These notes keep the polemics of their time: some speak harshly of the Jewish people or of other Christians. The Church teaches otherwise today. The Jewish people may not be blamed for the death of Christ (Nostra Aetate 4; Catechism 597–598), and Christians of other communities are our brothers and sisters in the Lord (Unitatis Redintegratio 3).
