“Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.”
King James Version (KJV)
7:9 Samaria - Samaria shall continue to be the chief city if the kingdom of Israel, and Pekah shall not conquer Jerusalem. If - If you do not believe this, but seek to the Assyrians for succour, ye shall be consumed thereby.
7:12 I will not - By asking a sign, as if I questioned the truth of his word: but this was deep hypocrisy.
7:13 David - He reproves them all, because they were the king's counsellors. Is it a small thing - Is it not wickedness enough. My God - To vex God's prophets and people, with your oppressions and horrid impieties. And by your ingratitude and unbelief, and disobedience of his commands.
