Isaiah 8:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 8:1

Assyria Will Invade the Land

1 Moreover the Lord said to me, “Take a large scroll, and ^awrite on it with a man’s pen concerning¹ Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.

2 And I will take for Myself faithful witnesses to record, ^aUriah the priest and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.”

3 Then I went to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son. Then the Lord said to me, “Call his name Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz;

4 ^afor before the child shall have knowledge to cry ‘My father’ and ‘My mother,’ ^bthe riches of Damascus and the² spoil of Samaria will be taken away before the king of Assyria.”

5 The Lord also spoke to me again, saying:

6 “Inasmuch as these people refused
The waters of ^aShiloah that flow softly,
And rejoice ^bin Rezin and in Remaliah’s son;
