“And Hezekiah was glad of them, and shewed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not.”
Hezekiah is pleased with the visitors and shows them his treasury, the silver and gold, the spices and precious oil, his armory, and all that is found in his treasuries, establishing an excessive display of wealth and pride. The oracle shows the king's pride and his willingness to reveal his resources to foreign powers.
