Merodach-baladan king of Babylon sends letters and a present, and Hezekiah is pleased and shows his treasures

바벨론 왕 므로닥발라단이 글과 예물을 보내고 히스기야가 궁중 보물을 다 보임

Isaiah 39:1–2: at that time, Merodach-baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sends letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he heard that he had been sick, and had recovered. The text says, “Hezekiah was pleased with them, and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, the gold, the spices, and the precious oil, and all the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah didn’t show them.” The Korean Revised Version tells first that he heard that Hezekiah had been sick and had recovered (히스기야가 병 들었다가 나았다 함을 듣고), reads 글 where WEB reads “letters”, and at 39:2 has Hezekiah rejoice because of the messengers and show everything to him (사자를 인하여 기뻐하여 그에게), where WEB reads “was pleased with them, and showed them”.
