Isaiah 7:1-12 And it came to pass, in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, there went up Rezin the king of Aram and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, against Jerusalem to war against it, and they were not able to besiege it.

Ottley⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And it came to pass, in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, there went up Rezin the king of Aram and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, against Jerusalem to war against it, and they were not able to besiege it. ² And it was reported to the house of David, saying, Aram hath made agreement with Ephraim; and his soul was distraught, and the soul of his people, like as when a tree in a forest is shaken with the wind. ³ And the Lord said unto Isaiah, Go forth to meet Ahaz, thou, and he that is left, Jashub thy son, at the pool of the upper road of the fuller's field; ⁴ And thou shalt say to him, Take heed, that thou be quiet; and fear thou not, neither let thy soul be faint, at these two logs of smoking firebrands; for when the anger of my wrath is come, I will heal again. ⁵ And (as for) the son of Aram and the son of Remaliah, because they have counselled evil counsel concerning thee, saying, ⁶ We will go up against Judah, and let us talk with them, and turn them away to us, and we will make king over them the son of ‘Tabeal: ⁷ Thus saith the Lord of Hosts, This counsel shall not abide, neither shall it be. ⁸ But the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; but yet within threescore and five years shall the kingdom of Ephraim fail from (being) a people. ⁹ And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son: and if ye trust not, neither shall ye understand. ¹⁰ And the Lord spake unto Ahaz, saying, ¹¹ Ask thee a sign from the Lord thy God, (down) to the depth or (up) to the height. ¹² And Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the Lord.
