Berodach Baladan king of Babylon sends letters and a present, and Hezekiah shows the men from Babylon all his treasures

바벨론 왕 부로닥발라단이 편지와 예물을 보내고 히스기야가 바벨론에서 온 사람들에게 보물고를 다 보임

2 Kings 20:12–15: at that time Berodach Baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sends letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick. The text says, “Hezekiah listened to them, and showed them all the storehouse of his precious things—the silver, the gold, the spices, and the precious oil, and the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, or in all his dominion, that Hezekiah didn’t show them.” Then Isaiah the prophet comes to King Hezekiah, and says to him, “What did these men say? From where did they come to you?” Hezekiah says, “They have come from a far country, even from Babylon.” Isaiah says, “What have they seen in your house?” Hezekiah answers, “They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.” At 20:12 the Korean Revised Version tells of the sickness first (히스기야가 병 들었다 함을 듣고) and sets 바벨론 왕 (king of Babylon) before the name 부로닥발라단 (Berodach Baladan); at 20:13 it has Hezekiah hear 사자의 말 (the messengers’ words) and show it all 사자에게 (to the messengers); and at 20:15 it names Isaiah (이사야가), where WEB says “He said”.
