2 Kings20:17

17 Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon ▪ nothing shall be left, saith the LORD.

This Judgment is denounced against him for his pride, which God exceedingly abhors; and for his ingratitude, whereby he took that honour to himself▪ which he should have given intirely to God; and abused Gods Gifts and Favours to the gratification of his own Lusts: Of both which see 2 Chron. 32. 25, 26. and for his Carnal confidence in that League which he had now made with the King of Babylon, by which, it is probable, he thought his Mountain to be so strong that it could not be removed.
