Isaiah 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.

Isaiah 14:28 In-Context

26 This is the plan determined for the whole world; this is the hand stretched out over all nations.

27 For the LORD Almighty has purposed, and who can thwart him? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?

28 This prophecy came in the year King Ahaz died:

29 Do not rejoice, all you Philistines, that the rod that struck you is broken; from the root of that snake will spring up a viper, its fruit will be a darting, venomous serpent.

30 The poorest of the poor will find pasture, and the needy will lie down in safety. But your root I will destroy by famine; it will slay your survivors.
