Contextual Overview

¹ Ahaz was the son of Jotham, who was the son of Uzziah. Rezin was the king of Aram, Pekah son of Remaliah was the king of Israel. When Ahaz was king of Judah, Rezin and Pekah went up to Jerusalem to attack it, but they were not able to defeat the city. ² The family of David received a message that said, "The armies of Aram and Ephraim have joined together in one camp." When King Ahaz heard this message, he and the people became frightened. They shook with fear like trees of the forest blowing in the wind. ³ Then the Lord told Isaiah, "You and your son Shear Jashub should go out and talk to Ahaz. Go to the place where the water flows into the Upper Pool, on the street that leads up to Laundryman's Field. ⁴ "Tell Ahaz, ‘Be careful, but be calm. Don't be afraid. Don't let those two men, Rezin and Remaliah's son, frighten you! They are like two burning sticks. They might be hot now, but soon they will be nothing but smoke. Rezin, Aram, and Remaliah's son became angry ⁵ and made plans against you. They said, ⁶ "Let's go fight against Judah and divide it among ourselves. Then we will make Tabeel's son the new king of Judah."'" ⁷ But the Lord God says, "Their plan will not succeed. It will not happen ⁸ because Aram depends on its capital Damascus, and Damascus is led by its weak king Rezin. And don't worry about Ephraim. Within 65 years it will be crushed, no longer a nation. ⁹ Ephraim depends on its capital Samaria, and Samaria is led by Remaliah's son. So you have no reason to fear. Believe this, or you will not survive."

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.
