Isaiah 7:1-12 And it happened in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, 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 overcome it.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And it happened in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, 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 overcome it. ² And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is allied with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the woods are moved by the wind. ³ Then Jehovah said to Isaiah, Go out now to meet Ahaz, you and Shear-jashub your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the Fuller's Field. ⁴ And say to him, Be careful and be quiet. Do not fear, nor be timid of heart because of the two tails of these smoking firebrands, because of the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah; ⁵ because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah have plotted against you, saying, ⁶ Let us go up against Judah and trouble it, and break her for ourselves, and set a king in the midst of it, the son of Tabeal. ⁷ So says the Lord God, It shall not stand, nor shall it come to pass. ⁸ For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within sixty-five years Ephraim shall be broken so that it shall not be a people. ⁹ And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If you will not believe, surely you shall not be established. ¹⁰ And Jehovah spoke again to Ahaz, saying, ¹¹ Ask a sign of Jehovah your God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. ¹² But Ahaz said, I will not ask, nor will I tempt Jehovah.
