Yeshayah 14:28 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 14:28

In the year that King Ahaz died was this burden.
] The following heavy prophecy, concerning the destruction of the Philistines; whether it was delivered out before or after his death is not certain. Here some begin the "fifteenth" chapter ( Isaiah 15:1 ) , and not improperly; henceforward prophecies are delivered out under another reign, as before under Uzziah, Jotham, and Ahaz, now under Hezekiah. This, according to Bishop Usher, was A. M. 3278 and before the Christian era 726.

Yeshayah 14:28 In-Context

26 This is the etzah (plan) that is purposed upon kol ha’aretz; and this is the Yad (hand) that is stretched out over kol HaGoyim (all the nations).

27 For Hashem Tzva’os hath purposed, and who shall annul it? And His Yad is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

28 In the year of the mot HaMelech Achaz came this massa (burden, oracle);

29 Rejoice not thou, all ye of Peleshet (Philistia), because the shevet (rod) of him that struck thee is broken; for out of the shoresh nachash (snake’s root) shall spring up a viper, and its pri (fruit) shall be a fiery flying serpent.

30 And the bechorei dalim (the firstborn of the poor ones) shall eat, and the evyonim (needy ones) shall lie down in safety; and I will kill thy shoresh (root) with ra’av (famine), and it shall slay thy she’erit (remnant, survivors).
