11 Mas el SEÑOR ensalzará los enemigos de Rezín contra él, y juntará sus enemigos

Isaías 9:11 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 9:11

Therefore the Lord shall set up the adversaries of Rezin
against him
Set them up on high, as the word ^F1 signifies; exalt them above him, and make them superior to him, and conquerors of him, meaning the Assyrians; who, being sent for by Ahab, went up against Damascus, took it, and carried the people captive, and slew Rezin the king of Syria, the head of which was Damascus, ( 2 Kings 16:7-9 ) this is mentioned, because the Israelites put great trust and confidence in this prince, with whom they were in alliance; and this is said to abate their pride, arrogance, and haughtiness, before expressed: and join his enemies together;
or mix them; the Assyrian army, consisting of a mixture of various nations; or "stir" them "up", as the Targum; instigate them against him. Some understand the whole of Israel, against whom the adversaries of Rezin, namely, the Assyrians, would come, as they did, and invade their land, and carry them captive; with whom were various other people, as follows.

Isaías 9:11 In-Context

9 Y la sabrá el pueblo, todo él, Efraín y los moradores de Samaria, que con soberbia y con altivez de corazón dicen

10 Los ladrillos cayeron, mas edificaremos de cantería; cortaron los higos silvestres, mas en su lugar pondremos cedros

11 Mas el SEÑOR ensalzará los enemigos de Rezín contra él, y juntará sus enemigos

12 por delante los sirios, y por las espaldas los filisteos; y con toda la boca se tragarán a Israel. Ni con todo eso cesará su furor, antes todavía su mano está extendida

13 Mas el pueblo no se convirtió al que lo hería, ni buscaron al SEÑOR de los ejércitos
