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 7:5

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

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

Thus saith the Lord GOD, it shall not stand ,.... That is, the counsel they had taken against Judah to vex it, make a breach in it, and set a king of their own liking over it; so the Septuagint and Arabic versions render the words, "that counsel shall not stand"; the counsel of God shall stand, but not the counsel of men, when it is against him, Proverbs 19:21 , neither shall it come to pass ; or "shall not be"; so far from standing, succeeding, and going forward, till it is brought to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 7:8

For the head of Syria is Damascus ,.... Damascus was the metropolis of Syria, the chief city in it, where the king had his palace, and kept his court; of which See Gill on Genesis 15:2 , Acts 9:2 , and the head of Damascus is Rezin ; he was king of it, as of all Syria; the meaning is, that Syria, of which Damascus was the principal city, was the only country that Rezin should govern, his dominion should not be enlarged; and Ahaz, king of Judah, might assure himself that Rezin... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 7:9

And the head of Ephraim is Samaria ,..... Samaria was the metropolis or chief city of Ephraim, or the ten tribes of Israel: and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son ; Pekah, son of Remaliah, was king of Samaria, as of all Israel. The sense is, that, until the sixty five years were ended, there should be no enlargement of the kingdom of Israel; Judah should not be added to it; Samaria should continue, and not Jerusalem be the metropolis of it; and Pekah, during his life, should be... read more

For the head of Syria, etc. - "Though the head of Syria be Damascus, And the head of Damascus Retsin; Yet within threescore and five years Ephraim shall be broken, that he be no more a people: And the head of Ephraim be Samaria; And the head of Samaria Remaliah's son. "Here are six lines, or three distichs, the order of which seems to have been disturbed by a transposition, occasioned by three of the lines beginning with the same word וראש verosh , "and the head," which three lines... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 7:1-7

The designs of the wicked, however well laid, easily brought to naught by God. It would be difficult to find a scheme, humanly speaking, more prudent and promising than that now formed by Rezin and Pekah. They had each measured their strength against that of Ahaz singly, and had come off decided victors from the encounter. What doubt could there be of success when their arms were united? And success would be a matter of the greatest importance to them. It would enable them to form a compact... read more

SECTION IV . PROPHECIES CONNECTED WITH THE SYRO - ISRAELITE WAR (Isaiah 7-10:4). THE PROPHECY GIVEN TO AHAZ AT THE TIME OF THE SYRO - ISRAELITISH WAR . The Syro-Israelitish war is touched on both in Kings and Chronicles. In Kings the alliance between Rezin and Pekah is distinctly declared, as also the fact that they conjointly besieged Jerusalem ( 2 Kings 16:5 ). From Chronicles we learn that, before the siege, Ahaz was twice defeated with... read more
