Exegesis
The verse begins with the temporal frame ba'et hahi {בָּעֵ֣ת הַהִ֡וא | bā-ʿēṯ ha-hîʾ} ‘at that time,’ anchoring the episode to the preceding narrative.
In context — Isaiah 39:1
At that time, Merodach-baladan, son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah, for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick and had recovered.
