2 Kings20:18
18 And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget , shall they take away, and they shall be eunuchs in the pala[illegible: 1+ letters] of the king of Babylon .
i. e. Of thy Grand-Children, who are oft called sons.
They shall be Servants to that Heathen Monarch, whereby both their Bodies will be subject to Slavery, and the Lusts of their Lords, and their Souls exposed to the peril of Idolatry, and all sorts of Wickedness; which must needs be very grievous to so good a Man as Hezekiah, and was indeed a very sore Judgment. Whereby God would teach the World the great evil of sin, yea even of those sins which are generally esteemed but small and venial, for such were those sins of Hezekiah noted upon v. 17.
