In Isaiah 39, we read about Hezekiah pleased with the visit of
messengers from Babylon. They sent greetings to him and send him gifts for king Hezekiah recovered from his sickness.
He showed them the treasures of his palace.
The prophet Isaiah warned him that it was wrong: everything will be hauled to Babylon, even his sons.
Is there a lesson?
King Hezekiah was healed with a miraculous sign. Why should him be so glad with the king of Babylon? I myself don't owe anything to men and I owe everything to the Lord. Sometimes, it is difficult to remember this.
