Bible Book OrderIsaiah 39 Daniel
This page lays out a map between Isaiah 39 and the book of Daniel. Though the quotes are given in large chunks there are several matches between the two, namely visitors from Babylon, temple treasures and Hezekiah's descendants.
Babylon
13 Isaiah 39
1At that time Merodach Baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and presents to Hezekiah; for he had heard that he had been sick and was healed.
2And Hezekiah was glad to receive them, and showed them his treasure house, the silver and the gold and the spices and the precious ointment and all the house of his armor and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house nor in all his dominion that Hezekiah did not show them.
3Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and said to him, What did these men say to you? And where did they come to you from? And Hezekiah said, They have come from a far country to me, even from Babylon.
4Then he said, What have they seen in your house? And Hezekiah answered, They have seen all the things that are in my house; I have left nothing in my house that I have not shown them.
5Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Hear the word of Yahvah of hosts:
6Look, the days are coming, when all that is in your house, and what your fathers have laid up in store until this day, will be carried to Babylon; nothing will be left says Yahvah.
7And some of your sons that will issue from you, whom you will beget, they will take away; and they will be eunuchs in the house of the king of Babylon.
8Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, Good is the word of Yahvah which you have spoken. For there will be peace and truth in my days.
39 Daniel 1:1-4
1In the 3rd year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and besieged it.
2And Master delivered it into his hand, together with Jehoiakim king of Judah and the vessels of the house of Yahvah, which he carried away into the land of Shinar, to the house of his idol; and he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his idol.
3And the king spoke to Ashpaz the chief of the eunuchs, that he should bring some of the children of Israel, of the royal families, and of the Parthians;
4boys in whom was no blemish, who were handsome in their appearance and skillful in all wisdom and cunning in knowledge and understanding of science, those who were able to stand in the king's house to minister to him, and whom they might teach the learning and the language of the Chaldeans.
