2 Kings 6:8-12

Horses and Chariots of Fire

8Once when the king of Syria was warring against Israel, he took counsel with his servants, saying, “At such and such a place shall be my camp.” 9But the man of God sent word to the king of Israel, “Beware that you do not pass this place, for the Syrians are going down there.” 10And the king of Israel sent to the place about which the man of God told him. Thus he used to warn him, so that he saved himself there more than once or twice.

11And the mind of the king of Syria was greatly troubled because of this thing, and he called his servants and said to them, “Will you not show me who of us is for the king of Israel?” 12And one of his servants said, “None, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom.”

and two seahs of barley for a shekel, at the gate of Samaria.”

Isaiah 7:1-9

Isaiah Sent to King Ahaz

1In the days of gAhaz the son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah, hRezin the king of Syria and iPekah the son of Remaliah the king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to wage war against it, but could not yet mount an attack against it. 2When the house of David was told, jSyria is in league with
Hebrew  Syria has rested upon
lEphraim,” the heart of Ahaz
Hebrew his heart
and the heart of his people shook as the trees of the forest shake before the wind.

3And the Lord said to Isaiah, “Go out to meet Ahaz, you and nShear-jashub
 Shear-jashub means A remnant shall return
your son, at the end of pthe conduit of the upper pool on the highway to the Washer’s Field.
4And say to him, q‘Be careful, rbe quiet, do not fear, and do not let your heart be faint because of these two ssmoldering stumps of firebrands, at the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria and tthe son of Remaliah. 5Because Syria, with Ephraim and uthe son of Remaliah, has devised evil against you, saying, 6“Let us go up against Judah and terrify it, and let us conquer it
Hebrew  let us split it open
for ourselves, and set up the son of Tabeel as king in the midst of it,”
7thus says the Lord God:

w“‘It shall not stand,
and it shall not come to pass.
8For the head of Syria is xDamascus,
and the head of Damascus is Rezin.
And within sixty-five years
Ephraim will be shattered from being a people.
9And the head of Ephraim is Samaria,
and the head of Samaria is ythe son of Remaliah.
zIf you
The Hebrew for  you is plural in verses 9, 13, 14
are not firm in faith,
you will not be firm at all.’”
