Contextual Overview

¹ During the days of Achaz the son of Yotam, the son of ‘Uziyahu, king of Y'hudah, Retzin the king of Aram and Pekach the son of Remalyah, king of Isra'el, advanced on Yerushalayim to attack it but were unable to conquer it. ² It was told to the house of David that Aram and Efrayim had become allies. Achaz's heart began to tremble, as did the hearts of his people, like forest trees shaken by the wind. ³ Then Adonai said to Yesha‘yahu, "Go out now to meet Achaz, you and your son Sh'ar Yashuv, at the end of the aqueduct from the Upper Pool, on the road to the Launderers' Field; ⁴ and say to him, ‘Take care to stay calm and unafraid; don't be demoralized by these two smoldering stumps of firewood, by the blazing anger of Retzin and Aram or the son of Remalyah; ⁵ or because Aram, Efrayim and the son of Remalyah have been plotting against you, thinking, ⁶ "We will invade Y'hudah, tear it apart, divide it among ourselves and appoint the son of Tav'el as king there." ⁷ "‘This is what Adonai Elohim says: "It won't occur, it won't happen. ⁸ For the head of Aram is Dammesek, and the head of Dammesek Retzin. In sixty-five years Efrayim will be broken and will cease to be a people. ⁹ The head of Efrayim is Shomron, and the head of Shomron is the son of Remalyah. Without firm faith, you will not be firmly established."'"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Isaiah 7:5. Because - Remaliah — All these words are omitted by one MS. and the Syriac; a part of them also by the Septuagint.
