 ====== Isaiah 7 ======
-''7:1 AND it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.''
+  * [[Isaiah]]
+==== Isaiah 7:1 ====
+[[Ahaz]] is the king of Judah, [[Rezin]] is king of Syria, [[Pekah]] is the king of Israel (also called Ephraim in the chapter).  Israel and Syria formed an alliance and attacked Judah, but were unsuccessful.  See [[2 Kings 16|2 Kings 16:5]] for a similar account.
+==== Isaiah 7:17 ====
+The wording is a little hard to read.  The prophet is basically saying, "Something far worse is coming ... [[Assyria|the Assyrians]]."  "even the king of Assyria" is meant for dramatic emphasis.
+==== Isaiah 7:19-25 ====
+Isaiah is describing what life will be like for the Israelites when the Assyrians come.  They will be everywhere (v19), the natives will be removed -- foreigners are providing services (20).  They will live and and eat simply (21-22).  You've never seen anything like what is coming (17).
