For —The deliverance implied in the name "Immanuel," and the cessation of distress as to food ( Isaiah 7:14 ; Isaiah 7:15 ), shall last only till the child grows to know good and evil; for . . . the land that . . . abhorrest . . . forsaken of . . . kings —rather, desolate shall be the land, before whose two kings thou art alarmed [HENGSTENBERG and GESENIUS]. the land —namely, Syria and Samaria regarded as one ( 2 Kings 16:9 ; 2 Kings 15:30 ), just two years after this prophecy, as it foretells. HORSLEY takes it, "The land (Judah and Samaria) of (the former of) which thou art the plague (literally, 'thorn') shall be forsaken," c. a prediction thus, that Judah and Israel (appropriately regarded as one "land") should cease to be kingdoms ( Luke 2:1 ; Genesis 49:10 ) before Immanuel came.
