Because the Israelites were puffed up with the confederacy which they had with Syria, and thought that all things should fall out according to their wish, Isaiah threatens a sudden change which should cut off all their hope, and should wholly overthrow all their plots. For the Assyrians rose up soon after, and made war with the Syrians. And Rezin being slain, the estate of that kingdom was wholly overthrown. He amplifies the matter when he adds, he will gather together. For his meaning is, that the Lord will assemble and mingle divers enemies together, whom he will send to destroy the King of Syria; as indeed the army of that great Monarch of the Assyrians was composed of divers nations.
