Isaiah 7:1 · Masoretic Text (WLC)
AMPLIFIED · 1 of 3
Now it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin king of Aram (Syria) and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to wage war against it, but they could not conquer it.
Syria and Israel's alliance against Judah, trying to force Ahaz into joining a coalition against Assyria, is the historical crisis that occasions this entire oracle.
