Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 7:9

_ _ believe, ... be established — There is a paronomasia, or play on the words, in the Hebrew: “if ye will not confide, ye shall not abide.” Ahaz brought distress on himself by distrust in the Lord, and trust in Assyria.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 7:1-9.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 7:9

Samaria — Samaria shall continue to be the chief city if the kingdom of Israel, and Pekah shall not conquer Jerusalem. If — If you do not believe this, but seek to the Assyrians for succour, ye shall be consumed thereby.
