Isaiah

Isaiah 7:1–2

¹Now in the days that Ahaz son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, was king of Judah, Rezin king of Aram^a marched up to wage war against Jerusalem. He was accompanied by Pekah son of Remaliah the king of Israel, but he could not overpower the city.

²When it was reported to the house of David that Aram was in league with Ephraim,^b the hearts of Ahaz and his people trembled like trees in the forest shaken by the wind.
