Isaiah 4:1
4:1 a During Isaiah’s ministry, Jerusalem’s population was so decimated through war, famine, and disease (3:1-3 b; 6:13 c; 14:30 d; 22:2 e; 37:4 f) that there were few men left, creating an absence of leadership (see 3:1-12 g). Even worse conditions lay ahead with the approaching war between Judah and the alliance of Syria and Israel in 734–732 BC (2 Chr 28 h) and eventually the conquest and fall of Jerusalem (605–586 BC).
