And Hezekiah was glad of them, and shewed them 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 Isaiah 39:2

Theological / Devotional

Hezekiah was glad. His vanity had been flattered by this unexpected attention from a king of Babylon, and he was happy that others were interested in resisting Assyria. Hezekiah therefore welcomed the Babylonian envoys as allies and friends, little dreaming that in a short time Babylon would take the place of Assyria as the great power of the East and that one of its kings would conquer Judah.

Shewed them the house. For comment on Hezekiah’s folly in doing this, see on 2 Kings 20:13.
