Notes

2 Kings 20:17

all … will be carried off to Babylon: The Lord's message through Isaiah predicted that the palace treasures in Jerusalem would be taken to Babylon, which happened between 597 and 586 BC (2 Kings 24:10–17; 25:1–21).

2 Kings 20:1–19

In those days: This phrase gives a general time reference. It shows that the events are grouped by theme, not by strict order of time. The story about Merodach-baladan (2 Kings 20:12–19), who Sennacherib had expelled from Babylon before 701 BC, occurred before the events in chapters 18–19 but after Hezekiah's illness (2 Kings 20:12).
