蓋此子未知棄惡擇善之先、爾所疾之二王、其國為墟、

當其年華未富、明睿未開之日、爾所懼之二王、其國必為墟、

蓋此子尚未明棄惡擇善之先、爾所懼之二王、其國必荒蕪、

for before the boy knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right, the land of the two kings you dread will be laid waste.

For before the boy knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you dread will be deserted.

The king of Assyria will carry off the wealth of Damascus. He will also carry away the goods that were taken from Samaria. That will happen before the boy knows how to say‘ My father’ or‘ My mother.’ ”

You said your little ones would be taken prisoner. But they will enter the land. They do not yet know right from wrong. But I will give them the land. They will take it as their own.

So the king of Assyria did what Ahaz asked him to do. He attacked the city of Damascus and captured it. He sent its people away to Kir. And he put Rezin to death.

The Lord says,“ The people of Damascus have sinned again and again. So I will judge them. They used threshing sleds with iron teeth to crush Gilead’s people.So I will send fire to destroy the palace of King Hazael. It will burn up the forts of his son Ben- Hadad.I will break down the city gate of Damascus. I will kill the king who lives in the Valley of Aven, that evil place. He holds the ruler’s scepter in Beth Eden. The people of Aram will be taken away to Kir as prisoners,” says the Lord.

The people of Ephraim will be completely destroyed when it is time for me to punish them. They can be sure it will happen. I am announcing it among their tribes.

And shouldn’t I show concern for the great city of Nineveh? It has more than 120,000 people. They can’t tell right from wrong. Nineveh also has a lot of animals.”

During the rule of Pekah, the king of Israel, Tiglath- Pileser marched into the land again. He was king of Assyria. He captured the towns of Ijon, Abel Beth Maakah, Janoah, Kedesh and Hazor. He also captured the lands of Gilead and Galilee. That included the whole territory of Naphtali. He took the people away from their own land. He sent them off to Assyria.Then Hoshea made evil plans against Pekah, the son of Remaliah. Hoshea was the son of Elah. Hoshea attacked Pekah and killed him. Then Hoshea became the next king after him. It was in the 20th year of the rule of Jotham, the son of Uzziah.

Here is a prophecy against Damascus that the Lord gave me. He said,“ Damascus will not be a city anymore. Instead, all its buildings will be knocked down.The cities of Aroer will be deserted. They will be left to the flocks that lie down there. No one will make them afraid.Ephraim’s people will no longer have cities with high walls around them. Royal power will disappear from Damascus. Those who are left alive in Aram will be like the glory of the people of Israel,” announces the Lord who rules over all.

In spite of that, the Lord has made Rezin’s enemies stronger. He has stirred up Assyria to fight against Israel.
