Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to-
war against it, but could not prevail against it. 2. And
it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is confeder-
ate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the
heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved
with the wind. 3. Then said the Lord unto Isaiah, Go
forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shearjashub thy son,,
at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the high-
way of the fuller's field ; 4. And say unto him, Take
heed, and be quiet ; fear not, neither be faint-hearted,
for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the
fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of
Remaliah. 5. Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of
Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,
6. Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us
make a breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst
of it, even the son of Tabeal : 7. Thus saith the Lord
God, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to
pas^. 8. For the head of Syria is Damascus,
and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within
threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken>
that it be not a people. 9. And the head of
Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Rema-
liah's son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be
established. 10. Moreover, the Lord spake again unto*
Ahaz, saying, 11. Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God ;
ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. 12.
But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the
Lord. 13. And he said, Hear ye now, O house of
David, Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but
will ye weary my God also ? 14. Therefore the Lord
himself shall give you ia sign ; Behold, a virgin shaU
war against it, but could not prevail against it. 2. And
