Isaiah 7:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 7:3

Isaiah Sent to King Ahaz

1 Now it came to pass in the days of ^aAhaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to make war against ^bit, but could not prevail against it.

2 And it was told to the house of David, saying, “Syria’s forces are¹ deployed in Ephraim.” So his heart and the heart of his people were moved as the trees of the woods are moved with the wind.

3 Then the Lord said to Isaiah, “Go out now to meet Ahaz, you and Shear-Jashub your son, at the end of the aqueduct from the upper pool, on the highway to the Fuller’s Field,

4 and say to him: ‘Take heed, and² be ^aquiet; do not fear or be fainthearted for these two stubs of smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and the son of Remaliah.

5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah have plotted evil against you, saying,

6 “Let us go up against Judah and¹ trouble it, and let us make a gap in its wall for ourselves, and set a king over them, the son of Tabel”—
