2 Kings 20:17-21 ▼

17 Watch out! The days are coming when everything that's in your house—everything that your ancestors have saved up right to this day—will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left,' declares the LORD.

18 Some of your descendants—your very own seed, whom you will father—will be carried away to become officials in the palace of the king of Babylon.'|

19 At this, Hezekiah replied to Isaiah, |What you've spoken from the LORD is good,| because he had been thinking, |Why not, as long as there's peace and security in my lifetime...?|

20 Now the rest of Hezekiah's actions, as well as his glorious deeds, including how he constructed the pool and the conduit to bring water into the city, are recorded in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah, are they not?

21 Hezekiah died, as did his ancestors, and his son Manasseh became king in his place.
