Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 8:6

_ _ waters of Shiloah ... softly — Their source is on the southeast of Zion and east of Jerusalem. It means “sent,” the water being sent through an aqueduct (John 9:7). Figurative for the mild, though now weak, sway of the house of David; in the highest sense Shiloah expresses the benignant sway of Jehovah in the theocracy, administered through David. Contrast to the violent Euphrates, “the river” that typifies Assyria (Isaiah 8:7; Revelation 17:15). “This people” refers both to Israel, which preferred an alliance with Rezin of Syria to one with the kings of Judah, and to Judah, a party in which seems to have favored the pretentions of the son of Tabeal against David’s line (Isaiah 7:6); also to Judah’s desire to seek an Assyrian alliance is included in the censure (compare Isaiah 7:17). Isaiah 8:14 shows that both nations are meant; both alike rejected the divine Shiloah. Not “My people,” as elsewhere, when God expresses favor, but “this people” (Isaiah 6:9).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 8:1-8.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 8:6

This people — The people of Israel, of whom he last spake, who rejoiced not only in their own king, but also in the assistance of so powerful an ally as Rezin. Shiloah — That small brook which ran by Jerusalem. Hereby he understands the munitions and strength of the Jews, which their enemies derided.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 8:6

Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of (g) Shiloah that flow gently, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;

(g) Which was a fountain at the foot of mount Zion, out of which ran a small river through the city: meaning, that they of Judah distrusting their own power which was small desired such power and riches as they saw in Syria and Israel.
