Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 9:10

Theological / Devotional

We will build. Isaiah here refers to the failure of earlier efforts by Pekah and to his plans to recoup past losses (see ch. 7:1). It is as if buildings of brick had been demolished, but Pekah would build again, this time with stone instead of brick; the “sycomores” (see on Luke 17:6; 19:4), having been cut down, Pekah would replace them with the more expensive and durable cedars (see 1 Kings 10:27). He was displaying his perversity and open defiance of the will of Heaven.
