Context of Isaiah 7:13
11Ask for thee a sign from Jehovah thy God; ask for it in the deep, or in the height above. 12And Ahaz said, I will not ask, and will not tempt Jehovah. And he said, Hear then, house of David: Is it a small matter for you to weary men, that ye weary also my God? 14Therefore will the Lord himself give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and shall bring forth a son, and call his name Immanuel. 15Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and to choose the good.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 13O house of David - Isaiah 7:2. By this is to be understood not only the king himself, but the princes and rulers. Perhaps in addressing him thus, there was implied no small irony and reproach. David confided in God. But “Ahaz,” his descendant, feared to “tempt” God! As if God could not aid him! Worthy descendant he of the pious and devoted David! Is it a small thing - You are not satisfied with wearying people, but you would also fatigue and wear out the…Read the comment
