Hezekiah Shows His Treasures
4“What have they seen in your palace?” Isaiah asked. “They have seen everything in my palace,” answered Hezekiah. “There is nothing among my treasures that I did not show them.” 5Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the LORD of Hosts: 6The time will surely come when everything in your palace and all that your fathers have stored up until this day will be carried off to Babylon.

Isaiah 39

3. Isaiah, understanding thereof, foretells the Babylonian captivity.














Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah
This phrase introduces the prophet Isaiah, a central figure in the Old Testament, known for his role as a messenger of God. The name "Isaiah" means "Yahweh is salvation," reflecting his mission to convey God's messages of both judgment and hope. Hezekiah, the king of Judah, is a significant character known for his faithfulness to God, yet also for his human frailties. This interaction between Isaiah and Hezekiah is pivotal, as it underscores the role of prophets in guiding and admonishing leaders according to God's will.

Hear the word of the LORD of Hosts
The phrase "Hear the word" is a call to attention, emphasizing the importance and authority of the message that follows. In Hebrew, "hear" (שָׁמַע, shama) implies not just listening but also obeying. "The LORD of Hosts" (יהוה צבאות, Yahweh Sabaoth) is a title that portrays God as the supreme commander of the heavenly armies, highlighting His sovereignty and power. This title reassures the listener of God's ultimate authority and the seriousness of the message being delivered. The use of "Hosts" suggests a divine backing that is both vast and formidable, reminding Hezekiah and the readers of God's omnipotence and the weight of His words.

Verse 5. - Hear the word of the Lord of hosts. Either the prophet had been specially charged with a Divine message to the king before he sought his presence, or the prophetic afflatus now came on him suddenly. The former is, on the whole, more probable.
