MErodach, or Berodach-Baladan, the King of Babel, visiteth Hezekiah by his Embassadors, to congratulate his recovery, and to inquire after the miracle of the Sun turning back. The Lord left Hezekiah to try what was in his heart, and it shewed folly. The Lord foretels by the Prophet the captivity into Babel, which City and Kingdom is now small, and under the power of the Assyrian, before it rise to be the golden head. For observe in 2 Chron. 33. 11. that Babel is in the hand of the King of Assyria, The Captains of the host of the King of Assyria carried Manasseth unto Babel.
