And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not.
Ezequías los escuchó y les mostró todo lo que había en su tesoro: toda su plata, oro, especias, aceites preciosos, armas y tesoros. No hubo ni una sola cosa en su palacio o en cualquier lugar de su reino que Ezequías no les mostrara.
Ezequías mostró imprudentemente todas sus riquezas y tesoros a los visitantes extranjeros.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This occurred around 701 BC when envoys from Babylon visited King Hezekiah of Judah, ostensibly to congratulate him on recovering from his serious illness. However, the Babylonians were likely gathering intelligence about Judah's wealth and military capabilities. The prophet Isaiah would soon warn Hezekiah that this display of riches would lead to Babylon eventually conquering Judah and carrying away these very treasures.
