these men
This refers to the men sent to King Hezekiah with a message and gifts from Marduk-Baladan.
They have seen everything in my house. There is nothing among my valuable things that I have not shown them
Hezekiah repeats the same idea in two ways to emphasize his point. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism)
There is nothing among my valuable things that I have not shown them
"Nothing" and "not" cancel each other out to make the idea positive. This exaggeration is used for emphasis. AT: "I showed them absolutely every one of my valuable things" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublenegatives)
