Exegesis
The Nifal participle nîmṣāʾ {נִמְצָ֖א | nîmṣāʾ} in bᵊ-ʾōṣrōtāw {בְּאוֹצְרוֹתָ֑יו | bᵊ-ʾōṣrōtāw} introduces a relative clause, and the double negative lō-hāyâ…lō-hērāʾêm {לֹא־הָיָ֣ה…לֹא־הֶרְאָ֧ם | lō-hāyâ…lō-hērāʾêm} is rendered “Nothing…was left unshown” (formal) and “There was not a single item…that he did not show them” (dynamic) to preserve Hebrew emphasis.
In context — 2 Kings 20:13
Hezekiah welcomed them and then showed them the whole house of his treasures : silver and gold, spices, precious oil, the house of his weapons, and everything found in his storehouses . Nothing in his palace or in all his dominion was left unshown to them.
