Isaiah 39:7

"‘Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have stored up until today, will be carried to Babylon. Nothing will be left,’ says the LORD."

Key Reflection

This prophecy signifies that the Babylonians would expropriate everything of value from King Hezekiah's household and the treasures amassed by his ancestors, leaving nothing behind. It underscores the complete devastation and exile that would befall Judah, highlighting God’s sovereignty over history and His ability to fulfill prophetic words despite human prosperity and security.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

And of that sons -Thy posterity (see the note atMatthew 1:1). That shall issue from thee -Of the royal family. The captivity at Babylon occurred more than a hundred years after this, and of course those who were carried there were somewhat remote descendants of Hezekiah. And they shall be eunuchs -The word used here (סריסיםsâriysiym) denotes properly and strictly eunuchs, or such persons as were accustomed to attend on the harems of Oriental monarchsEsther 2:3,Esther 2:14-15.
