Context of Isaiah 14:28

26That is what I have decided for the whole earth. I am ready to show my power against all the nations.’ 27Yes, the Lord Almighty has decided what he will do. Nobody can change it. He is ready to show his power. Nobody can stop it. In the year that King Ahaz died, God showed this message to Isaiah: 29Do not feel happy, you Philistine people. God has destroyed the king who was attacking you. That king hit you with a big stick, but a dangerous snake will follow! And that snake will give birth to an even more dangerous snake that moves very fast. 30The Lord will give food to the poorest of his people. The weak and helpless people will live safely. But you Philistine people will die from famine. I will destroy you all, so that nobody remains.

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 28In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden - Uzziah had subdued the Philistines, 2 Chronicles 26:6, 2 Chronicles 26:7; but, taking advantage of the weak reign of Ahaz, they invaded Judea, and took, and held in possession, some cities in the southern part of the kingdom.

It is not to call the Philistines to lamentation and alarm, for…Read the comment
