Isaiah 7:6

“Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, &c.] By besieging or distressing it; or “stir it up” to war, as Jarchi interprets it: and let us make a breach therein for us; in the walls of the city of Jerusalem, and enter in at it; the Targum is, “let us join, and put it to us;” and so Jarchi, let us level it with us, as this valley, which is even: the sense may be, let us make a breach and division among them, and then part the kingdom between usf124; or if we cannot agree on that, let us set up a king of our own, as follows: and set a king in the midst of it, [even] the son of Tabeal; which Jarchi, by a situation of the alphabet the Jews call “albam”, makes it to be the same with Remala, that…”

The son of Tabeal - Nothing more is known of this person. He might have been some disaffected member of the royal family of David, who had sought the aid of Rezin and Pekah, and who would be allied to them, or tributary to them. It is possible that he had already a party in Jerusalem in his favor; compare Isaiah 8:12. Probably, the two kings wished to cut off such portions of the territory of Judah as should…”

“Let us - Break their power and kingdom and subdue it to ourselves. Isaiah 7:7”

“7:6 The son of Tabeel, otherwise unknown, was obviously sympathetic to Israel’s and Syria’s resistance against Assyria.”
