מלכים ב, פרק כ׳, פסוק ט״ו

A direct encounter takes place between the prophet and the king, bringing to light the king's decision to expose his royal treasures to a foreign delegation. Isaiah initiates the conversation, questioning exactly what the visitors were allowed to see inside the palace. In a moment of complete frankness, Hezekiah admits that the guests saw absolutely everything. He emphasizes that he kept nothing hidden, showing them every single piece of his wealth [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. While their exchange is brief and direct, these few words actually reflect a deep tension, marking a serious confrontation between the king and the prophet [מדוד ועד לחורבן].
