Isaiah 22:1 Context
1The burden of the valley of vision. What ayleth thee now, that thou art wholly gone vp to the house toppes? 2Thou that art full of stirres, a tumultuous citie, a ioyous citie: thy slaine men are not slaine with the sword, nor dead in battell. 3All thy rulers are fled together, they are bound by the archers: all that are found in thee are bound together, which haue fled from farre.

Wesley's Notes for Isaiah 22:1
22:1 The valley - Of Judah; and especially of Jerusalem, called a valley, because great part of it flood in a valley; and the valley of vision, because of the many and clear visions or revelations of God's mind, in that place. House - tops - As they used to do in times of great consternation, that they might look, to and cry to heaven for help.
