For the head: Dr. Jubb transposes the former part of Isa 7:9, and renders, "Though the head of Syria be Damascus; and the head of Damascus Retzin; and the head of Ephraim be Samaria; and the head of Samaria Remaliah's son; yet within threescore and five years Ephraim shall be broken, that he be no more a people." This renders the passage perfectly clear; and the prophecy received its full accomplishment when Esarhaddon carried away the remains of the ten tribes. Sa2 8:6 within: Isa 8:4, Isa 17:1-3; 2Kings 17:5-23; Ezr 4:2 that it be not a people: Heb. from a people, Hos 1:6-10 Isaiah 7:9
