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

But the Lord has strengthened Rezin’s foes against them and has spurred their enemies on.

But the Lord raises the adversaries of Rezin against him, and stirs up his enemies.

But the Lord will bring Rezin’s enemies against Israel and stir up all their foes.

The LORD has raised up Rezin’s adversaries against him and stirred up his enemies.

Therefore the Lord raises superior adversaries against them from Rezin And provokes their enemies,

Therefore the Lord shall set up The adversaries of Rezin against him, And spur his enemies on,

Therefore Jehovah will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and will stir up his enemies,

The Lord has raised up Rezin’s adversaries against him and stirred up his enemies.

Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together;

Then the LORD provoked their adversaries to attack them, he stirred up their enemies–

Therefore Yahweh will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and will stir up his enemies,

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.’ ”The Lord continued,“ I am like the gently flowing stream of Siloam. But the people of Judah have turned their backs on me. They are filled with joy because of the fall of Rezin and the son of Remaliah.So I am about to bring against these people the king of Assyria and his whole army. The Assyrians will be like the mighty Euphrates River when it is flooding. They will run over everything in their path.

‘ I took over Kalno just as I took Carchemish. I took over Hamath just as I did Arpad. I took Samaria just as I did Damascus.My powerful hand grabbed hold of kingdoms whose people worship statues of gods. They had more gods than Jerusalem and Samaria did.I took over Samaria and its statues of gods. In the same way, I will take Jerusalem and its gods.’ ”

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 capital of Aram is Damascus. And the ruler of Damascus is only Rezin. Do not worry about the people of Ephraim. They will be too crushed to be considered a people. That will happen before 65 years are over.

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.

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 days to come, the glory of Jacob’s people will fade. Their strength will get weaker and weaker.It will be as when workers cut and gather grain in the Valley of Rephaim. They gather up stalks in their arms. Only a few heads of grain are left.
