And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also? 14Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. 15Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and 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.
