Scripture focus

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.

Commentary on 2 Kings 20:13

Theological / Devotional

All the house. Hezekiah undoubtedly felt flattered at this attention given to him by the “king of Babylon.” In showing his treasures to the envoys from Babylonia and revealing his resources he was simply offering a bait to the cupidity of these rapacious foreigners, who would return to seize these treasures and take them to Babylon less than a century later.
