SEV Biblia, Chapter 20:13
Y Ezequías los oyó, y les mostró toda la casa de las cosas preciosas, plata, oro, y especiería, y el ungí¼ento precioso; y la casa de sus armas, y todo lo que había en sus tesoros; ninguna cosa quedó que Ezequías no les mostrase, así en su casa como en todo su señorío.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 20:13
Verse 13. Hezekiah hearkened unto them] Instead of [myw vaiyishma, he hearkened, jmyw vaiyismach, he rejoiced or was glad, is the reading of twelve of Kennicott's and Deuteronomy Rossi's MSS., the parallel place, Isa. xxxix. 2, the Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate, Arabic, some copies of the Targum, and the Babylonian Talmud. All the house of his precious things] Interpreters are not well agreed about the meaning of the original htkn nechothoh, which we here translate precious things, and in the margin spicery or jewels. I suppose the last to be meant.
There was nothing in his house] He showed them through a spirit of folly and exultation, all his treasures, and no doubt those in the house of the Lord. And it is said, 2 Chron. xxxii. 31, that in this business God left him to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart; and this trial proved that in his heart there was little else than pride and folly.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-21 - The king of Babylon was at this time independent of the king of Assyria, though shortly after subdued by him. Hezekiah showed his treasures and armour, and other proofs of his wealth and power. Thi was the effect of pride and ostentation, and departing from simpl reliance on God. He also seems to have missed the opportunity of speaking to the Chaldeans, about Him who had wrought the miracles whic excited their attention, and of pointing out to them the absurdity an evil of idolatry. What is more common than to show our friends ou houses and possessions? But if we do this in the pride of ours hearts to gain applause from men, not giving praise to God, it becomes sin in us, as it did in Hezekiah. We may expect vexation from every objec with which we are unduly pleased. Isaiah, who had often been Hezekiah' comforter, is now is reprover. The blessed Spirit is both, Joh 16:7, 8 Ministers must be both, as there is occasion. Hezekiah allowed the justice of the sentence, and God's goodness in the respite. Yet the prospect respecting his family and nation must have given him man painful feelings. Hezekiah was indeed humbled for the pride of his heart. And blessed are the dead who die in the Lord; for they rest from their labours, and their works do follow them __________________________________________________________________
