Merodach-baladan, sending to visit Hezekiah, has notice of his treasures.3. Isaiah, understanding thereof, foretells the Babylonian captivity. And Hezekiah welcomed the envoys gladly The Hebrew root for "welcomed" is "שָׂמַח" (samach), which conveys a sense of joy and delight. Hezekiah's glad reception of the envoys from Babylon reflects a moment of pride and perhaps a desire for political alliance or recognition. Historically, this was a period when Judah was seeking allies against the Assyrian threat, and Hezekiah's actions may have been motivated by a desire to impress and secure favor. From a spiritual perspective, this moment of joy is tinged with a lack of discernment, as Hezekiah's openness would later lead to vulnerability. and showed them what was in his treasure house the silver, the gold, the spices, and the precious oil as well as his entire armory all that was found in his storehouses There was nothing in his palace or in all his dominion that Hezekiah did not show them The spices, and the precious ointment . . .--The mention of these articles as part of the king's treasures is characteristic of the commerce and civilisation of the time. "Spices"--probably myrrh, gumbenzoin, cinnamon--had from a very early period been among the gifts offered to princes (Genesis 43:11; 1Kings 10:10). The "ointment," or perfumed oil, finds its parallel in the costly unguent of the Gospel history (Matthew 26:7; John 12:3). Esar-haddon's account of the magnificence of his palace (Records of the Past, iii., 122) supplies a contemporary instance of like ostentation. . . . Verse 2. - Hezekiah was glad of them. A more pregnant phrase than that which replaces it in 2 Kings, "hearkened unto them." Hezekiah, like Merodach-Baladan, was looking out for allies, and "was glad," thinking that in Babylon he had found one which might render him important service. Sargon's promptness, however, frustrated his hopes. In B.C. 709 that prince, regarding Merodach-Baladan's proceedings as constituting a real danger to his kingdom, made a great expedition into Babylonia, defeated Merodach-Baladan, and took him prisoner, after which he had himself crowned King of Babylon, and during the remainder of his life ( B.C. 709 to 705) ruled both countries. Showed them the house of his precious things; i.e. his treasury, or store-house. The treasuries of ancient monarchs were actual store-chambers, in which large quantities of the precious metals and valuable objects of various kinds were deposited (see Herod., 2:121; Arrian, 'Exp. Alex.,' 3:16, 18, etc.). The flourishing state of the treasury is an indication that the events here narrated are anterior to the great surrender of treasure to Sennacherib (2 Kings 18:15; 'Epenym Canon,' p. 135). All the house of his armour (comp. Isaiah 22:8). If a warlike alliance was contemplated, it was as important to show the possession of arms as of treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah showed them not. We must allow for Oriental hyperbole. The meaning is, that, without any reserve, Hezekiah showed all that he could show.Parallel Commentaries ...
