Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 4. - Take heed, and be quiet; or, see that thou keep quiet; i.e. "be not disturbed; do not resort to strange and extreme measures; in quietness and confidence should be your strength" (see Isaiah 30:15). The two tails of these smoking firebrands. Rezin and Pekah are called "two tails," or "two stumps of smoking firebrands," as persons who had been dangerous, but whose power of doing harm was on the polar of departing from them. They could not now kindle a flame; they could only "smoke." The son of Remaliah. Pekah seems to be called "Remaliah's son" in contempt (comp. vers. 5, 9), Remaliah having been a man of no distinction (2 Kings 15:25).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(4) Take heed, and be quiet . . .--The prophet meets the fears of the king by words of comfort. The right temper for such a time was one of calm courage, waiting on the Lord (Isaiah 30:15).Neither be fainthearted.--Literally, let not thine heart be soft.For the two tails of these smoking fire brands.--The two powers that Ahaz dreaded were, in the prophet's eyes, but as the stumps of two smoking torches. Their flame was nearly out. It would soon be extinguished.The son of Remaliah.--There is a touch of scorn in the omission of the king's name. So men spoke scornfully of Saul as "the son of Kish" (1Samuel 10:11), and Saul himself of David as "the son of Jesse" (1Samuel 20:30). It pointed out the fact that Pekah was after all but an upstart adventurer, who had made his way to the throne by rebellion and murder.
