Isaiah 7:1-2

International Children’s Bible

Trouble with Aram

7 Now Ahaz was the son of Jotham, who was the son of Uzziah. When Ahaz was king of Judah, Rezin and Pekah went up to Jerusalem to fight against it. Rezin was king of Aram. And Pekah son of Remaliah was king of Israel. But they were not able to defeat the city.

² A message was told to Ahaz king of Judah. It said, “The armies of Aram and Israel^[a] have joined together.”

When Ahaz heard this, he and the people became very frightened. They shook with fear like trees of the forest blown by the wind.
