But, after the destruction of Sennacherib, presents were brought him from various quarters, out of respect to a king who, by his faith and prayer, saved his country; and besides, it is by no means improbable that from the corpses in the Assyrian camp, all the gold and silver he had paid might be recovered.

This site's exposition

Hear the word of the LORD

on 2 Kings 20:16-18

The sentence is plain: everything in the palace and all that Hezekiah's fathers had stored up will be "carried off to Babylon," with nothing left. Hezekiah's own descendants will serve as eunuchs. Kings later names Manasseh's sins as the cause of the exile this word first announces.
