Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 7:1-25

CHAPTER VIKING AND MESSIAH; PEOPLE AND CHURCH735-732 B.C.Isaiah 7, 8, 9:1-8THIS section of the book of Isaiah (chapters 7-9:7) consists of a number of separate prophecies uttered during a period of at least three years: 735-732 B.C. By 735 Ahaz had ascended the throne; Tiglath-pileser had been occupied in the far east for two years. Taking advantage of the weakness of the former and the distance of the later, Rezin, king of Damascus, and Pekah, king of Samaria, planned an invasion of Judah. It... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Isaiah 7:6

7:6 Let us go up against Judah, and trouble it, and let us conquer it for ourselves and set a king in the midst of it, [even] the son of {g} Tabeal:(g) Who was an Israelite, and as it seems, enemy to the house of David. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 7:1-25

JUDAH ’S ALLIANCE WITH ASSYRIA Syria and Israel menaced Judah through Jotham’s reign but the situation has become acute now that Ahaz is on the throne (Isaiah 7:1-2 ). THE PROMISED SIGN The Lord, through Isaiah, counsels and encourages the king at a crisis (Isaiah 7:3-16 ). Notice where the prophet is to meet Ahaz (Isaiah 7:3 ): where he and his military engineers may be conferring as to the water supply during the expected siege. Notice who accompanies the prophet, and his name, which... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 7:1-25

Panics and Answers Isaiah 7-8 These chapters are, for popular purposes, practically sealed books. It would be difficult to say with definiteness what they mean. The instances referred to are all of high antiquity, and the immediate local reference would be of little interest to the majority of men, even if it could be determined specifically and finally. We must, therefore, study the two chapters with the view of discovering what we may that is applicable to our own experience, that falls... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 7:3-9

I beg the Reader to remark with me, the Lord's tender mercy to his people. Surely in this history, as in a thousand others, the Apostle's words are fulfilled: where sin abounded, grace did much more abound; Romans 5:20 . We hear nothing of Ahaz sending to Isaiah or himself calling upon the Lord; but it is the Lord sending to Ahaz. Grace must first be given, or there will be no moving of the heart to the Lord. Reader! do remark the command of God to the prophet, to take his son with him, when he... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 7:1-9

1-9 Ungodly men are often punished by others as bad as themselves. Being in great distress and confusion, the Jews gave up all for lost. They had made God their enemy, and knew not how to make him their friend. The prophet must teach them to despise their enemies, in faith and dependence on God. Ahaz, in fear, called them two powerful princes. No, says the prophet, they are but tails of smoking firebrands, burnt out already. The two kingdoms of Syria and Israel were nearly expiring. While God... read more
