King Merodoch-Baladan

Figure Analysis

King Merodoch-Baladan is a ruler of Babylon who sends envoys to Hezekiah's court. Isaiah tells Hezekiah that one day Babylon will rule Judah and send everyone into exile, but Hezekiah is relaxed, because hey—he'll be dead by then… And that's the last word on Merodoch-Baladan.
