A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
Go forth--out of the city, to the place where Ahaz was superintending the works for defense and the cutting off of the water supply from the enemy, and securing it to the city. So Isa 22:9; Ch2 32:4.

Shearjashub--that is, A remnant shall return (Isa 6:13). His very name Isa 7:14; Isa 8:3 was a standing memorial to Ahaz and the Jews that the nation should not, notwithstanding the general calamity (Isa 7:17-25; Isa 8:6-8), be utterly destroyed (Isa 10:21-22).

conduit--an aqueduct from the pool or reservoir for the supply of the city. At the foot of Zion was Fount Siloah (Isa 8:6; Neh 3:15; Joh 9:7), called also Gihon, on the west of Jerusalem (Ch2 32:30). Two pools were supplied from it, the Upper, or Old (Isa 22:11), or King's (Neh 2:14), and the Lower (Isa 22:9), which received the superfluous waters of the upper. The upper pool is still to be seen, about seven hundred yards from the Jaffa gate. The highway leading to the fullers' field, which was in a position near water for the purposes of washing, previous to drying and bleaching, the cloth, was probably alongside the aqueduct.

9 Ye have seen [07200] also the breaches [01233] of the city [05892] of David [01732], that they are many [07231]: and ye gathered together [06908] the waters [04325] of the lower [08481] pool [01295].
14 Then I went on [05674] to the gate [08179] of the fountain [05869], and to the king's [04428] pool [01295]: but there was no place [04725] for the beast [0929] that was under me to pass [05674].
11 Ye made [06213] also a ditch [04724] between the two walls [02346] for the water [04325] of the old [03465] pool [01295]: but ye have not looked [05027] unto the maker [06213] thereof, neither had respect [07200] unto him that fashioned [03335] it long ago [07350].
30 This same Hezekiah [03169] also stopped [05640] the upper [05945] watercourse [04161] [04325] of Gihon [01521], and brought it straight [03474] down [04295] to the west side [04628] of the city [05892] of David [01732]. And Hezekiah [03169] prospered [06743] in all his works [04639].
7 And [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], Go [5217], wash [3538] in [1519] the pool [2861] of Siloam [4611], (which [3739] is by interpretation [2059], Sent [649] He went his way [565] therefore [3767], and [2532] washed [3538], and [2532] came [2064] seeing [991].
15 But the gate [08179] of the fountain [05869] repaired [02388] Shallun [07968] the son [01121] of Colhozeh [03626], the ruler [08269] of part [06418] of Mizpah [04709]; he built [01129] it, and covered [02926] it, and set up [05975] the doors [01817] thereof, the locks [04514] thereof, and the bars [01280] thereof, and the wall [02346] of the pool [01295] of Siloah [07975] by the king's [04428] garden [01588], and unto the stairs [04609] that go down [03381] from the city [05892] of David [01732].
6 Forasmuch [03282] as this people [05971] refuseth [03988] the waters [04325] of Shiloah [07975] that go [01980] softly [0328], and rejoice [04885] in Rezin [07526] and Remaliah's [07425] son [01121];
21 The remnant [07605] shall return [07725], even the remnant [07605] of Jacob [03290], unto the mighty [01368] God [0410].
22 For though thy people [05971] Israel [03478] be as the sand [02344] of the sea [03220], yet a remnant [07605] of them shall return [07725]: the consumption [03631] decreed [02782] shall overflow [07857] with righteousness [06666].
6 Forasmuch [03282] as this people [05971] refuseth [03988] the waters [04325] of Shiloah [07975] that go [01980] softly [0328], and rejoice [04885] in Rezin [07526] and Remaliah's [07425] son [01121];
7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord [0136] bringeth up [05927] upon them the waters [04325] of the river [05104], strong [06099] and many [07227], even the king [04428] of Assyria [0804], and all his glory [03519]: and he shall come up [05927] over all his channels [0650], and go over [01980] all his banks [01415]:
8 And he shall pass [02498] through Judah [03063]; he shall overflow [07857] and go over [05674], he shall reach [05060] even to the neck [06677]; and the stretching out [04298] of his wings [03671] shall fill [04393] the breadth [07341] of thy land [0776], O Immanuel [06005] [0410].
17 The LORD [03068] shall bring [0935] upon thee, and upon thy people [05971], and upon thy father's [01] house [01004], days [03117] that have not come [0935], from the day [03117] that Ephraim [0669] departed [05493] from Judah [03063]; even the king [04428] of Assyria [0804].
18 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], that the LORD [03068] shall hiss [08319] for the fly [02070] that is in the uttermost part [07097] of the rivers [02975] of Egypt [04714], and for the bee [01682] that is in the land [0776] of Assyria [0804].
19 And they shall come [0935], and shall rest [05117] all of them in the desolate [01327] valleys [05158], and in the holes [05357] of the rocks [05553], and upon all thorns [05285], and upon all bushes [05097].
20 In the same day [03117] shall the Lord [0136] shave [01548] with a razor [08593] that is hired [07917], namely, by them beyond [05676] the river [05104], by the king [04428] of Assyria [0804], the head [07218], and the hair [08181] of the feet [07272]: and it shall also consume [05595] the beard [02206].
21 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], that a man [0376] shall nourish [02421] a young [01241] cow [05697], and two [08147] sheep [06629];
22 And it shall come to pass, for the abundance [07230] of milk [02461] that they shall give [06213] he shall eat [0398] butter [02529]: for butter [02529] and honey [01706] shall every one eat [0398] that is left [03498] in [07130] the land [0776].
23 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], that every place [04725] shall be, where there were a thousand [0505] vines [01612] at a thousand [0505] silverlings [03701], it shall even be for briers [08068] and thorns [07898].
24 With arrows [02671] and with bows [07198] shall men come [0935] thither; because all the land [0776] shall become briers [08068] and thorns [07898].
25 And on all hills [02022] that shall be digged [05737] with the mattock [04576], there shall not come thither [0935] the fear [03374] of briers [08068] and thorns [07898]: but it shall be for the sending forth [04916] of oxen [07794], and for the treading [04823] of lesser cattle [07716].
3 And I went [07126] unto the prophetess [05031]; and she conceived [02029], and bare [03205] a son [01121]. Then said [0559] the LORD [03068] to me, Call [07121] his name [08034] Mahershalalhashbaz [04122].
14 Therefore the Lord [0136] himself shall give [05414] you a sign [0226]; Behold, a virgin [05959] shall conceive [02030], and bear [03205] a son [01121], and shall call [07121] his name [08034] Immanuel [06005] [0410].
13 But yet in it shall be a tenth [06224], and it shall return [07725], and shall be eaten [01197]: as a teil tree [0424], and as an oak [0437], whose substance [04678] is in them, when they cast [07995] their leaves: so the holy [06944] seed [02233] shall be the substance [04678] thereof.
4 So there was gathered [06908] much [07227] people [05971] together [06908], who stopped [05640] all the fountains [04599], and the brook [05158] that ran [07857] through the midst [08432] of the land [0776], saying [0559], Why should the kings [04428] of Assyria [0804] come [0935], and find [04672] much [07227] water [04325]?
9 Ye have seen [07200] also the breaches [01233] of the city [05892] of David [01732], that they are many [07231]: and ye gathered together [06908] the waters [04325] of the lower [08481] pool [01295].
4 So there was gathered [06908] much [07227] people [05971] together [06908], who stopped [05640] all the fountains [04599], and the brook [05158] that ran [07857] through the midst [08432] of the land [0776], saying [0559], Why should the kings [04428] of Assyria [0804] come [0935], and find [04672] much [07227] water [04325]?
11 Ye made [06213] also a ditch [04724] between the two walls [02346] for the water [04325] of the old [03465] pool [01295]: but ye have not looked [05027] unto the maker [06213] thereof, neither had respect [07200] unto him that fashioned [03335] it long ago [07350].
9 Ye have seen [07200] also the breaches [01233] of the city [05892] of David [01732], that they are many [07231]: and ye gathered together [06908] the waters [04325] of the lower [08481] pool [01295].
9 Ye have seen [07200] also the breaches [01233] of the city [05892] of David [01732], that they are many [07231]: and ye gathered together [06908] the waters [04325] of the lower [08481] pool [01295].

30 This same Hezekiah [03169] also stopped [05640] the upper [05945] watercourse [04161] [04325] of Gihon [01521], and brought it straight [03474] down [04295] to the west side [04628] of the city [05892] of David [01732]. And Hezekiah [03169] prospered [06743] in all his works [04639].
13 But yet in it shall be a tenth [06224], and it shall return [07725], and shall be eaten [01197]: as a teil tree [0424], and as an oak [0437], whose substance [04678] is in them, when they cast [07995] their leaves: so the holy [06944] seed [02233] shall be the substance [04678] thereof.
21 The remnant [07605] shall return [07725], even the remnant [07605] of Jacob [03290], unto the mighty [01368] God [0410].
22 For though thy people [05971] Israel [03478] be as the sand [02344] of the sea [03220], yet a remnant [07605] of them shall return [07725]: the consumption [03631] decreed [02782] shall overflow [07857] with righteousness [06666].
3 And I went [07126] unto the prophetess [05031]; and she conceived [02029], and bare [03205] a son [01121]. Then said [0559] the LORD [03068] to me, Call [07121] his name [08034] Mahershalalhashbaz [04122].
14 Therefore the Lord [0136] himself shall give [05414] you a sign [0226]; Behold, a virgin [05959] shall conceive [02030], and bear [03205] a son [01121], and shall call [07121] his name [08034] Immanuel [06005] [0410].
3 And I went [07126] unto the prophetess [05031]; and she conceived [02029], and bare [03205] a son [01121]. Then said [0559] the LORD [03068] to me, Call [07121] his name [08034] Mahershalalhashbaz [04122].
11 Then said [0559] I, Lord [0136], how long? And he answered [0559], Until the cities [05892] be wasted [07582] without inhabitant [03427], and the houses [01004] without man [0120], and the land [0127] be utterly [08077] desolate [07582],
12 And the LORD [03068] have removed [07368] men [0120] far away [07368], and there be a great [07227] forsaking [05805] in the midst [07130] of the land [0776].
13 But yet in it shall be a tenth [06224], and it shall return [07725], and shall be eaten [01197]: as a teil tree [0424], and as an oak [0437], whose substance [04678] is in them, when they cast [07995] their leaves: so the holy [06944] seed [02233] shall be the substance [04678] thereof.
21 The remnant [07605] shall return [07725], even the remnant [07605] of Jacob [03290], unto the mighty [01368] God [0410].
22 For though thy people [05971] Israel [03478] be as the sand [02344] of the sea [03220], yet a remnant [07605] of them shall return [07725]: the consumption [03631] decreed [02782] shall overflow [07857] with righteousness [06666].

3 He took counsel [03289] with his princes [08269] and his mighty men [01368] to stop [05640] the waters [04325] of the fountains [05869] which were without [02351] the city [05892]: and they did help [05826] him.
4 So there was gathered [06908] much [07227] people [05971] together [06908], who stopped [05640] all the fountains [04599], and the brook [05158] that ran [07857] through the midst [08432] of the land [0776], saying [0559], Why should the kings [04428] of Assyria [0804] come [0935], and find [04672] much [07227] water [04325]?
