Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

Therefore - This verse indicates the punishment that would come upon them for their pride. The Lord shall set up - Hebrew, ‘Shall exalt.’ That is, they shall overcome and subdue him. The adversaries of Rezin - King of Syria, Isa 7:1. It should be observed here, that twenty-one manuscripts, instead of adversaries, read princes of Rezin. The sense seems to require this; as in the following verse, it is said that the Syrians will be excited against them. Against him - Against Ephraim.
