At that time gifts will be brought to the Lord Almighty from a people tall and smooth-skinned, from a people feared far and wide, an aggressive nation of strange speech, whose land is divided by rivers-the gifts will be brought to Mount Zion, the place of the Name of the Lord Almighty. (Isaiah 18:7) (NIV)
After God's intervention and the death of Sennacherib, the Assyrian king, who threatened King Hezekiah and the people of Judah with destruction, this is what happened.......
Many brought offerings to Jerusalem for the Lord and valuable gifts for Hezekiah king of Judah......(2 Chronicles 32:23) (NIV)

Most probably, as a token of respect, the people of Cush and Egypt, were the ones who did this.
But come to think of it, what gift can man give God?; does he not already have everything?
Yet, as a token of respect and honor and gratitude, we too, as believers, can give to the Lord .
God loves a cheerful giver.
One of the best things that we can give back to God for all that he has done for us is what the Psalmist mentions in Psalm 116....
What shall I return to the Lord for all his goodness to me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord. (Psalm 116:12-13) (NIV)

Be a witness for Christ, dear brother, dear sister........
