Isaiah 39

It took only 1 minutes to read about the Babylonians first trip to Jerusalem. How had they heard about Hezekiah? It seems that their intentions were honorable. Their invation of Judah is more than 80 years in the future. They were surely not bent on conquest at this time. Isaiah spoke of a future that should have destressed the king. Yet he seemed to be comforted with the assurance that his extended life would be one of peace before God. I'm just not sure what lesson God seeks to present to us in Isaiah 39.
