2 Kings 20:16-18
20:17 a everything ... will be carried off to Babylon: The Lord’s message through Isaiah predicted the taking of the palace ... treasures in Jerusalem to Babylon, an event that took place in 597–586 BC (24:10-17 b; 25:1-21 c).20:18 d Some of your very own sons will be taken: Hezekiah’s son Manasseh was taken as a prisoner to Babylon (2 Chr 33:11-13 e). This prophecy found ultimate fulfillment in Hezekiah’s descendants during the Babylonian deportations of 605 BC (see 2 Kgs 24:1 f and corresponding study note; Dan 1:1-7 g), 597 BC (2 Kgs 24:10-12 h; 2 Chr 36:10 i), and 586 BC (2 Kgs 25:5-7 j; 2 Chr 36:20 k; Jer 39:1-7 l; 52:4-15 m).
