Isaiah 7:17 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

The Lord shall bring upon thee But although God will deliver you at this time, for his own name's sake, yet he will remember and requite your wickedness, and hath a dreadful judgment in store for you. And upon thy people, and thy father's house Upon thy subjects, and upon thy sons and successors, the kings of Judah: the accomplishment of which threatening is recorded in their history. Part of the Assyrian storm fell in Ahaz's reign, 2 Chronicles 28:20; and he began to reap the bitter fruit of his confiding in the king of Assyria, rather than in the Lord of hosts. Days that have not come Namely, evil days, or calamities; from the day that Ephraim departed, &c. When the ten tribes revolted from thy father's house, and set up another opposite kingdom. The king of Assyria might well be called their plague or calamity, as he is called the rod of God's anger, Isaiah 10:5.
