<p class="tab-1">The story of this chapter likewise we had before, <a class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.20.12" href="/passage/?search=2Kgs.20.12">2 Kgs. 20:12</a> It is here repeated, not only as a very memorable and improvable passage, but because it concludes with a prophecy of the captivity in Babylon; and as the former part of the prophecy of this book frequently referred to Sennacheribs invasion and the defeat of that, to which therefore the history of that was very fitly subjoined, so the latter part of this book speaks much of the Jews captivity in Babylon and their deliverance out of that, to which therefore the first prediction of it, with the occasion thereof, is very fitly prefixed. We have here, I. The pride and folly of Hezekiah, in showing his treasures to the king of Babylons ambassadors that were sent to congratulate him on his recovery, <a class="bibleref" title="Isa.39.1,Isa.39.2" href="/passage/?search=Isa.39.1,Isa.39.2"><span class="bibleref" title="Isa.39.1">Isa. 39:1</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="Isa.39.2">2</span></a>. II. Isaiahs examination of him concerning it, in Gods name, and his confession of it, <a class="bibleref" title="Isa.39.3,Isa.39.4" href="/passage/?search=Isa.39.3,Isa.39.4"><span class="bibleref" title="Isa.39.3">Isa. 39:3</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="Isa.39.4">4</span></a>. III. The sentence passed upon him for it, that all his treasures should, in process of time, be carried to Babylon, <a class="bibleref" title="Isa.39.5-Isa.39.7" href="/passage/?search=Isa.39.5-Isa.39.7">Isa. 39:5-7</a>. IV. Hezekiahs penitent and patient submission to this sentence, <a class="bibleref" title="Isa.39.8" href="/passage/?search=Isa.39.8">Isa. 39:8</a>.</p>
