Berean Study Bible

Behold, the days are coming
This phrase serves as a prophetic introduction, often used in the Bible to signal a forthcoming event ordained by God. The Hebrew word for "behold" is "hinneh," which is an imperative to pay attention. It emphasizes the certainty and divine authority behind the prophecy. Historically, this phrase is a common prelude to significant announcements, indicating that what follows is not merely a possibility but an assured future occurrence. It calls the listener to be alert and prepared for God's unfolding plan.

when everything in your palace
The term "everything" in Hebrew is "kol," meaning all-encompassing or total. This indicates that nothing will be spared or left behind. The "palace" refers to the royal residence, symbolizing the center of power and wealth. In the context of ancient Judah, the palace was not just a physical structure but a representation of the nation's strength and stability. This prophecy foretells a complete upheaval, suggesting that the very heart of the kingdom will be affected.

and all that your fathers have stored up until this day
The phrase "all that your fathers have stored up" speaks to the accumulated wealth and heritage passed down through generations. The Hebrew word for "stored up" is "kanas," which implies gathering or hoarding treasures. This highlights the long-standing legacy and the efforts of previous generations to secure prosperity. The mention of "fathers" connects the present to the past, underscoring the continuity of blessings and responsibilities. The impending loss is not just material but also a severing of historical and familial ties.

will be carried off to Babylon
"Carried off" translates from the Hebrew "nasa," meaning to lift, carry, or take away. This conveys the forceful removal and relocation of treasures. "Babylon" is significant both historically and theologically. At the time, Babylon was a rising power, known for its wealth and military might. The mention of Babylon foreshadows the Babylonian exile, a pivotal event in Jewish history. It serves as a divine judgment and a call to repentance, reminding the people of the consequences of turning away from God.

Nothing will be left
This phrase emphasizes the totality of the coming desolation. The Hebrew word "lo" (nothing) is absolute, leaving no room for exceptions. It underscores the severity of the judgment and the complete stripping away of what was once considered secure. This stark warning is meant to awaken the people to the reality of their situation and the seriousness of their spiritual state.

says the LORD
The declaration "says the LORD" affirms the divine origin and authority of the prophecy. The Hebrew term "Yahweh" is used here, the covenant name of God, which signifies His eternal presence and faithfulness. This is not merely a human prediction but a pronouncement from the Creator Himself. It serves as a reminder that God is sovereign over history and that His words are both a warning and an invitation to return to Him in faith and obedience.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(6, 7) Behold, the days come . . .--The words, it may be noted, received a two-fold fulfilment, under widely different conditions. Hezekiah's son Manasseh, at the time when Isaiah spoke unborn, was carried as a prisoner to Babylon by Esar-haddon, king of Assyria (2Chronicles 33:11). The last lineal heir of the house of David, Jehoiachin, died there after long years of imprisonment (2Kings 25:27). Daniel and his three companions were "of the king's seed and of the princes," and were, probably, themselves reduced to that state, placed under the care of "the master of the ennuchs" (Daniel 1:3). The actual treasures which Hezekiah showed were probably handed over to Sennacherib (2Kings 18:15-16); but looking to the fact that that king records his capture of Babylon, after defeating Merodach-baladan, and established his son Esar-haddon there (Lenormant, Ancient History, i., p. 400), it is probable enough that the treasures may have been taken thither, and displayed, as if in irony, to the king and the counsellors, who had hoped to profit by them. Sennacherib indeed boasts that he had carried off not only the king's treasures, and his musicians to Nineveh, but his daughters also (Records of the Past, vii. 63).

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 6. - Behold, the days come; literally, the days [are] coming, or [are] approaching. Of the exact "times and seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power" (Acts 1:7), the prophets generally knew nothing. They were mouth-pieces, to declare the Divine will, not keen-witted politicians, forecasting results by the exercise of sharp-sightedness and sagacity. To suppose that Isaiah foresaw by mere human wisdom the Babylonian conquest of Judaea, as Charles the Great did the ravages of the Northmen (R. Williams, 'Hebrew Prophets,' vol. 1. p. 429), is to give him credit for a sagacity quite unexampled and psychologically impossible. The kingdom of Babylon was one among many that were struggling hard to maintain independence against the grasping and encroaching Assyria. From the time of Tiglath-Pileser IX. she had been continually losing ground. Both Sargon and Sennacherib trampled her underfoot, overran her territory, captured her towns, and reduced her under direct Assyrian government. Till Assyria should be swept away, a Babylonian conquest of Palestine was impossible. To suppose it was like supposing a Russian conquest of Holland, while Germany bars the way. Nothing short of the true prophetic afflatus, which is God the Holy Ghost speaking by the mouth of his servants, could have made such an anticipation. And with Isaiah, as Mr. Cheyne says, it is "not a mere presentiment; it is a calm and settled conviction, based on a direct revelation, and confirmed by a deep insight into the laws of the Divine government." All that is in thine house. Not, of course, exactly all that was there when Isaiah spoke, but all the wealth that should be in the royal palace when the time of the Babylonian captivity arrived. (For the fulfilment, see 2 Chronicles 36:18.) That which thy fathers have laid up in store. A portion of this was carried off by Sennacherib in his first expedition (2 Kings 18:14-16); but the bulk of the temple treasures - the gifts of many kings - remained untouched until they were removed to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar (Daniel 1:2; Daniel 5:2; 2 Kings 24:13; 2 Kings 25:13-17).
