Commentary on Isaiah 65:10

Theological / Devotional

Sharon. A fertile plain along the seacoast extending from Carmel to Joppa. It was a region of beauty and plenty (ch. 35:2), a pastureland for flocks and herds (1 Chron. 27:29), and a place of flowers (S. of Sol. 2:1). God here promises to reward with prosperity and peace those who have “sought” Him.

The valley of Achor. Achor was a valley running into the plain of Jericho. It is traditionally connected with Achan, for it was there that he was stoned to death (Joshua 7:24-26). Here the name probably stands for the eastern limit of the country. All of Palestine, from Sharon on the west to Achor on the east, was to be a prosperous, peaceful region — the home of the people of the Lord. The “valley of Achor” would become “a door of hope” (Hosea 2:15).
