4 public-domain excerpts on Isaiah 7, from the church fathers to the Puritans.

Spurgeon 2 Matthew Henry 1 John Wesley 1

“VII Ahaz afraid of Rezin and Pekah, is comforted by Isaiah, ver. 1-9. Refusing to chuse a sign, Christ is promised for one, ver. 10- 16. His judgment should come by Assyria, ver. 17-25. 1. Ahaz - A most wicked king: yet no prophecies are more comfortable than those which were delivered in his time; God so ordering it for the encouragement of the faithful that lived under his impious reign. 2. David - Ahaz, and his relations. …”
