Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 7:2

_ _ is confederate with — rather, is encamped upon the territory of Ephraim [Maurer], or better, as Rezin was encamped against Jerusalem,is supported by” [Lowth] Ephraim, whose land lay between Syria and Judah. The mention of “David” alludes, in sad contrast with the present, to the time when David made Syria subject to him (2 Samuel 8:6).

_ _ Ephraim — the ten tribes.

_ _ as ... trees of ... wood — a simultaneous agitation.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 7:1-9.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 7:2

David — Ahaz, and his relations. He calls them the house of David, to intimate that the following comfortable message was sent to Ahaz, not for his own sake, but for the sake of his worthy progenitor David. Ephraim — The kingdom of the ten tribes, commonly called Ephraim, because that was the most numerous of all. Moved — With fear, arising from a consciousness of their own guilt, and their enemies strength.
