The Lord expressed concern about Hezekiah's reception of the Babylonian envoys in 2 Kings 20:12-19. Hezekiah showed the envoys all the treasures of his kingdom, which prompted the Lord to reveal to him through the prophet Isaiah that a future generation would carry away these treasures to Babylon. This act of displaying his wealth was seen as a lack of trust in God, and the prophecy predicted impending consequences for Judah due to this prideful action.
