Isaiah  2 Kings

Isaiah 10:5-34 covers the Assyrian Captivity, and Deliverance of Jerusalem stories in the book of 2 Kings.

^5.1Ho, Assyrian. The rod of my anger ^5.2and the staff in their hand is my indignation. ^6.1I will send him against a hypocritical people ^6.2and against a wrathful people I will give him a charge ^6.3to take captives and to take spoil ^6.4and to tread them down like the mire of the streets. I 2 Kings 17:6 ^7.1But he does not look so ^7.2nor does his heart think so, ^7.3but it is in his heart to destroy ^7.4and annihilate not a few peoples. I 2 Kings 18:13 ⁸For he says, Are my princes not altogether kings? ^9.1Is Calno not like Carchemish? ^9.2Is Hamath not like Arpad? ^9.3Is Samaria not like Damascus? ^10.1As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols ^10.2and whose graven images excelled those of Jerusalem and of Samaria, ^11.1as I have done to Samaria and her idols, ^11.2so I will do to Jerusalem and her idols. I 2 Kings 18:33-35 Isaiah 10:5-11¹²Therefore, it will come to pass when the Master has performed his whole work in the mount of Zion and in Jerusalem I 2 Kings 19:35 I will punish the fruit of the proud heart of the king of Assyria and the glory of his pride. I 2 Kings 19:37 ^13.1For he has said: ^13.2By the strength of my hand I have done it ^13.3and by my wisdom, for I am prudent ^13.4and I have removed the boundaries of the peoples ^13.5and I have plundered their wealth ^13.6and subjugated the inhabited cities ^14.1and my hand has found like a nest ^14.2the riches of the peoples ^14.3and as one gathers eggs that have been forsaken ^14.4I have gathered all the land ^14.5and there was no one who moved a wing ^14.6nor opened the mouth nor chirped. Isaiah 10:12-14^15.1Will the ax boast itself over him who hews with it ^15.2or will the saw magnify itself over him who saws with it ^15.3or will a rod exalt itself over him who lifts it up? ^16.1Therefore, the Master, the God of Hosts, ^16.2will send destruction on his rich ones ^16.3and instead of his glory he will kindle a burning ^16.4like the burning of a fire. ^17.1The light of Israel will be for a fire ^17.2and his holy one for a flame ^17.3and it will burn and devour his thorns and his briers ^17.4in 1 day. ^18.1It will consume the glory of his forest and of his fruitful fields, ^18.2both soul and body will perish, ^18.3and they will be as if they never had been. ^19.1The rest of the trees of his forest will be so few ^19.2that a child may write them down. Isaiah 10:15-19 ^20.1It will come to pass in that day that the remnant of Israel ^20.2and those who have escaped from the house of Jacob ^20.3will not trust any longer in him ^20.4who struck them, ^20.5but they will trust in the Master ^20.6the holy one of Israel in truth. ^21.1The remnant will return, even the remnant of Jacob, ^21.2to the Mighty God. ^22.1For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, P Genesis 32:12 ^22.2yet a remnant of them will return, ^22.3their number decreased, cut off, ^22.4but flooded with righteousness. ^23.1For the Master of Hosts will bring destruction ^23.2and make decrees throughout all the land. Q Romans 9:27-28 Isaiah 10:20-23^24.1Thus says the Master of Hosts: ^24.2My people that live in Zion, ^24.3do not be afraid of the Assyrian ^24.4who will strike you with his rod ^24.5and will lift up his staff against you after the manner of Mizraim. I Isaiah 37:6 ^25.1For yet a very little while and my indignation will be accomplished ^25.2and my anger because of their destruction. Isaiah 10:24-25^26.1The Master of Hosts will stir up a scourge against them ^26.2according to the slaughter of Midian at the mount of Horeb. ^26.3As his staff was on the sea ^26.4so he will lift it up after the manner of Mizraim. ^27.1It will come to pass in that day that his burden will be taken away from off your shoulder ^27.2and his yoke from off your neck ^27.3and the yoke will be destroyed from your neck ^27.4because of your strength. Isaiah 10:26-27^28.1He has come to Aiath. ^28.2He has passed Migron. ^28.3At Micmash he has laid up his supplies. ^29.1They have gone over the passage of Geba ^29.2to Beth-Bethan. ^29.3Ramah is afraid. ^29.4Geba of Saul has fled. ^30.1Lift up your voice daughter of Gallim. ^30.2Give ear Laishah. ^30.3Answer me, Anathoth. ^31.1Madmenah has been removed. ^31.2The inhabitants of Gebin are resisting. ^32.1As yet he will remain at Nob that day. ^32.2He will beckon his hand ^32.3against the mountain of the daughter of Zion ^32.4and against the hill of Jerusalem. Isaiah 10:28-32^33.1The Master, sovereign of hosts, ^33.2will overthrow the glorious ones with might ^33.3and the high ones of stature will be humbled ^33.4and the haughty will be brought down. ^34.1He will cut down the thickets of the forest with iron ^34.2and Lebanon with its glory will fall. Isaiah 10:33-34

(Isaiah 10:5-34 BRB)

Isaiah says Ho, Assyrian. The rod of my anger, and the staff in their hand is my indignation. I will send him against a hypocritical nation, and against a wrathful people I will give him a charge, to take captives and to take spoil and to tread them down like the mire of the streets. This aligns with the Assyrian overthrow of Samaria in Second Kings (2 Kgs 17).

Isaiah says as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so I will do to Jerusalem and her idols. This aligns with Yahvah saying, through the prophet Isaiah, that the Assyrian has blasphemed Yahvah (2 Kgs 19:5-7).

Isaiah says Will the ax boast itself over him who hews with it? This aligns with the Assyrian wanting to cut down the cedars (2 Kgs 19:20-28)

Isaiah says It will come to pass in that day that the remnant of Israel, and those who have escaped from the house of Jacob, will not trust any longer in him who struck them; but they will trust in Yahvah, the holy one of Israel, in truth. This aligns with the remnant that is left (2 Kgs 19:29-31).

Isaiah says It will come to pass in that day, that his burden will be taken away from off your shoulder and his yoke from off your neck. This aligns with Yahvah saying the Assyrian will leave (2 Kgs 19:32-34).

Isaiah says Look, Yahvah, sovereign of hosts, will overthrow the glorious ones with might; and the high ones of stature will be humbled, and the haughty will be brought down. This aligns with the angel of Yahvah slaying 185,000 Assyrians (2 Kgs 19:35-37).
