The Lord shall bring; but although God will deliver you at this time for his own name's sake, yet he will remember and requite all your present and following wickedness, and hath a dreadful judgment in store for you. Upon thee; for part of this Assyrian storm fell in Ahaz's reign, 2 Chronicles 28:20. Upon thy father's house; upon thy sons and successors, the kings of Judah; the accomplishment whereof is recorded in their history. Days, to wit, evil days, by a synecdoche; or calamities; for days are oft put for the events which happen in them, and especially for judgments or tribulations, as Job 18:20 Psalms 137:7 Isaiah 9:4 Obadiah 1:12. The day that Ephraim departed from Judah; when ten tribes revolted from thy father's house, and set up another opposite kingdom. Even the king of Assyria; who may well be called their plague or calamity, as he is called the rod of God's anger, Isaiah 10:5. Or, with (as this Hebrew particle oft signifies) the king, &c.; or, by the king, &c. And king is here put for kings, as Daniel 2:37, Daniel 8:21.
