This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_7:16 For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.
Ver. 16. For before the child.] Hannagnar, this child Shear-jashub here present, {Isa_7:3} the proper sign of this present deliverance {as Isa_8:4-7} made so by occasion of the mention of Immanuel, that was to be born, many years after, of a virgin.
The land that thou abhorrest.] Or, By which thou art vexed. {as Isa_7:6} Confer Exo_1:12 Num_22:3. So the Danes were abhorred by the English, the French by the Sicilians, as appeared by those bloody vespers.
Shall be left of both her kings.] Who shall be cut off by a seasonable vengeance. See this fulfilled {2Ki_15:30; 2Ki_16:9} within a year or two of this prophecy.
