イザヤ書 7:2-6 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 7:1-9

The prophet Isaiah had his commission renewed in the year that king Uzziah died, Isa. 6:1. Jotham his son reigned, and reigned well, sixteen years. All that time, no doubt, Isaiah prophesied as he was commanded, and yet we have not in this book any of his prophecies dated in the reign of Jotham; but this, which is put first, was in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham. Many excellent useful sermons he preached which were not published and left upon record; for, if all that was memorable had been... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 7:2

And it was told the house of David ,.... Ahaz, and his family, the princes of the blood, his court and counsellors; who had intelligence of the designs and preparations of the Syrians and Israelites against them: saying, Syria is confederate with Ephraim ; the ten tribes; or the kingdom and king of Israel. Some render it, "Syria led"; that is, its army "unto Ephraim" F25 נחה "duxit exercitum", Tigurine version. ; marched it into the land of Israel, and there joined the king of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 7:3

Then said the Lord unto Isaiah ,.... The prophet, the inspired penman of these prophecies, that go by his name; what follows, the Lord said unto him in vision, or by an articulate voice, or by an impulse on his mind: go forth now to meet Ahaz ; the prophet was in the city of Jerusalem, and Ahaz was without, as appears by the place after mentioned, where he was to meet him; perhaps Ahaz was at his country house, which, upon the news brought him of the designs of his enemies, he leaves,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 7:4

And say unto him, take heed, and be quiet ,.... Or "keep" thyself, not within the city, and from fighting with his enemies, but from unbelief, fear, and dread; or, as the Septuagint version, "keep" thyself, "that thou mayest be quiet" F1 השמר והשקט φυλαξαι , Sept.; "observa ut sis quieto animo", Vatablus. ; be easy, still, and silent, and see the salvation of God: the Jewish writers interpret the first word of resting and settling, as wine upon the lees: see Jeremiah 48:11 , ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 7:5

Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah ,.... Not that there were three parties in the counsel and confederacy against Judah, only two, the kingdoms of Syria and Ephraim, or Israel; the king of the former is not mentioned at all, and the latter only as if he was the son of a private person, which is purposely done by way of contempt: have taken evil counsel against thee : which is expressed in the next verse; saying ; as follows. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 7:6

Let us go up against Judah, and vex it ,.... By besieging or distressing it; or "stir it up" to war, as Jarchi interprets it: and let us make a breach therein for us ; in the walls of the city of Jerusalem, and enter in at it; the Targum is, "let us join, and put it to us;' and so Jarchi, let us level it with us, as this valley, which is even: the sense may be, let us make a breach and division among them, and then part the kingdom between us F3 So Noldius, Elr. Concord. Part. p.... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 7:4

The Syriac omits וארם vearam , "and Syria;" the Vulgate reads ארם מלך melech aram , "king of Syria:" one or the other seems to be the true reading. I prefer the former: or, instead of ובן וארם vearam uben , read בן ופקח vepekach ben , and pekah son , MS. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 7:1-2

National calamity with God and without God. The historical circumstances connected with this and the following two chapters throw light on the object and meaning of the prophecy. At the close of Jotham's reign, both the neighboring nations of Israel and of Syria invaded the country of Judah, wasting and desolating it. Now, in the beginning of the reign of Ahaz, they agreed to unite their forces, and so they hoped to take even the chief city, dethrone the reigning king, and partition the land... read more
