Commentary on Isaiah 7:2

Theological / Devotional

It was told. That is, it was reported to Ahaz, the living representative of the house of David. The attack was directed particularly against the dynasty of David, since it was the purpose to depose Ahaz and set up a new king, of the house of Tabeal, on the throne of Judah (v. 6).

His heart. The Dead Sea scroll 1QIs lacks these words.

Moved. Or, “shook.” Ahaz was terror stricken at the prospect of being driven from the throne (v. 6). An apostate, he did not trust in God, and it appeared to him that his kingdom was soon to fall.
