Isaiah 7:16
_ _ For — The deliverance implied in the name “Immanuel,” and the cessation of distress as to food (Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 7:15), shall last only till the child grows to know good and evil;
_ _ for ... the land that ... abhorrest ... forsaken of ... kings — rather, desolate shall be the land, before whose two kings thou art alarmed [Hengstenberg and Gesenius].
_ _ the land — namely, Syria and Samaria regarded as one (2 Kings 16:9; 2 Kings 15:30), just two years after this prophecy, as it foretells. Horsley takes it, “The land (Judah and Samaria) of (the former of) which thou art the plague (literally, ‘thorn’) shall be forsaken,” etc.; a prediction thus, that Judah and Israel (appropriately regarded as one “land”) should cease to be kingdoms (Luke 2:1; Genesis 49:10) before Immanuel came. |
Isaiah 7:16
Yea — Not only this land shall be preserved until the virgin's son shall be born, but thine enemies land shall be sorely scourged, and these two kings destroyed within a very little time. This child — Shear — Jashub, whom in all probability the prophet pointed at, and who was brought hither by God's special command, Isaiah 7:3. for this very use. The land — The lands of Syria and Israel. Forsaken — So far shall Pekah and Rezin be from conquering thy land, that they shall lose their own lands, and their lives too; which they did within two years after this time, being both slain by the king of Assyria. |
Isaiah 7:16
For before the (o) child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken by both her kings.
(o) Not meaning Christ, but any child: for before a child can come to the years of discretion, the kings of Samaria and Syria will be destroyed. |
