Vers. 4. Then said he; What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered; All that is in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not showed them.
Vers. 4. Then said hee; What haue they seene in thine house? And Hezekiah answered; All that is in mine house haue they seene: there is nothing among my treasures that I haue not shewed them.
1Again he said, &c.] He continues on his covert admonition, to see if Hezekias will at last be touched and displeased with his sin. But he cannot yet win so much of him, albeit it is almost incredible that the King should be grown so senseless, as not to feel such prickings. For he knew well enough that the Prophet came not as curious folks do, to inquire of news, or to pass the time in merriment with the King; but to confer with him about some matter of importance. How ever it were, yet his calm answer is to be commended; for he falls not out with the Prophet, but modestly confesseth how all things went. But no sign of repentance appears, neither confesseth he himself faulty: for he considered not his sin in this his drowsiness.
