Isaiah 1 Kings
Isaiah 9:8-10:4 covers the Building Solomon's Temple, Split
Kingdom, and Jeroboam's Change of Law stories in the book of 1 Kings.
8Master has sent a word to Jacob and it has fallen on Israel.
9All the people will know, even Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria who say in pride and haughtiness of heart,
10We will lay bricks and hew stones. The wild fig trees are cut down, but we will exchange them for cedars. I 1 Kings 5:6
11Therefore the Master will cause the adversaries of Rezin to prevail against him and incite his enemies,
12Adam from the east and the Philistines from the west and they will devour Israel with open mouth. I 1 Kings 11:14 Isaiah 9:8-12For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Isaiah 9:1213For the people did not turn to him until they were devoured, nor did they seek the Master of hosts.
14Therefore the Master will cut off from Israel head and tail, tail and head, in 1 day. I 1 Kings 12:13
15The elder and honorable are the head and the prophet who teaches lies is the tail.
16For the leaders of this people will cause them to err and cause them to sink low.
17Therefore the Master will have no joy in their young men nor will he have mercy on their orphans and widows, I 1 Kings 11:26 for all of them are hypocrites and evildoers and every mouth speaks folly. I 1 Kings 12:28 Isaiah 9:13-17For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Isaiah 9:1718For wickedness burns like the fire. It will devour the briers and thorns and will kindle in the thickets of the forest and the chosen ones will roll up like the lifting up of smoke.
19Through the rebuke of the Master of hosts the land quakes and the people will be as the fuel of the fire and no man will spare his brother. I 1 Kings 13:1-3
20He will snatch on the right hand and be hungry and he will eat on the left hand and will not be satisfied. They will eat every man the flesh of his own kinsmen,
21Manasseh Ephraim and Ephraim Manasseh and they together will devour Judah. I 1 Kings 14:30 Isaiah 9:18-21For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. Isaiah 9:21
FE 1Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees and who write unjust decrees
2to turn aside the needy from justice and to take away the right from the poor of my people that they may plunder the widows and that they may rob the fatherless. I 1 Kings 21:8
3What will you do in the day of repayment and in the storm which will come from far away? To whom will you flee for help? Where will you leave your glory?
4Without me you will bow down under the prisoners and you will fall under the killed. I 1 Kings 22:34-35 Isaiah 10:1-4For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. Isaiah 10:4 (Isaiah 9:8-10:4 BRB) Isaiah says the sycamores are cut down, but we will
change them into cedars.
This aligns with Solomon building
the temple
(1 Kgs 6:7-9).
Isaiah says Yahvah will cause the adversaries of Rezin
to prevail against him.
This aligns with the many adversaries
that rose up against Solomon, both domestic and foreign
(1 Kgs 11:1-43).
Isaiah says Yahvah will cut off from Israel head and
tail, tail and head, in 1 day.
This aligns with the splitting
of Israel into two parts, North and South, when Rehoboam would
not listen to his elders
(1 Kgs 12:1-15).
Isaiah says Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees,
and who write unjust decrees; to turn aside the needy from justice
and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that they
may plunder the widows and that they may rob the fatherless.
This aligns with Jeroboam changing the laws in the North to keep
Israel from traveling to Judah to worship at the temple in Jerusalem
(1 Kgs 12:25-33).
