2 Kings 20:14,15 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country A vain-glorious expression, intimating the great honour which he had from all parts, far and near. Even from Babylon That potent monarchy; which he mentions to magnify his own honour and happiness. What have they seen in thy house? He asks, not because he was ignorant of it, but in order that, from Hezekiah's answer, he might take occasion of delivering God's message to him.

2 Kings 20:14-15

14 Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country, even from Babylon.

15 And he said, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All the things that are in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.
