Commentaries on Isaiah 1:1
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 1The vision of Isaiah - It seems doubtful whether this title belongs to the whole book, or only to the prophecy contained in this chapter. The former part of the title seems properly to belong to this particular prophecy; the latter part, which enumerates the kings of Judah under whom Isaiah exercised his prophetical office, seems to extend it to the whole collection of prophecies delivered in the course of his ministry. Vitringa - to whom the world is…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 1The vision - The first verse evidently is a title, but whether to the whole book or only to a part of it has been questioned. As it stands here, however, it seems clearly intended to include the entire book, because it embraces all that was seen during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah; that is, during the whole prophetic life of the prophet. The same title is also given to his prophecies in 2 Chronicles 32:32: Now the rest of the acts of…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 1Isaiah prophesied in the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah. He has been well called the evangelical prophet, on account of his numerous and full prophesies concerning the coming and character, the ministry and preaching, the sufferings and death of the Messiah, and the extent and continuance of his kingdom. Under the veil of the deliverance from Babylon, Isaiah points to a much greater deliverance, which was to be effected by the Messiah; and…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1This is the vision: This term introduces the book as a unified whole, covering Isaiah’s prophecies over about fifty-five years, from around 740 to 685 BC. Isaiah son of Amoz: Nothing else is known about Isaiah’s family. Jerusalem, the capital city of Judah, was the center of Isaiah’s ministry. Some of his prophecies also relate to the northern kingdom, Israel (called Samaria and Ephraim, Isaiah 9:8–21; 28:1–13), which Assyria destroyed in 722 BC (see 2…Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1Isaiah, son of Amoz (not Amos); contemporary of Jonah, Amos, Hosea, in Israel, but younger than they; and of Micah, in Judah. His call to a higher degree of the prophetic office (Is 6:1-13) is assigned to the last year of Uzziah, that is, 754 B.C. The first through fifth chapters belong to the closing years of that reign; not, as some think, to Jotham's reign: in the reign of the latter he seems to have exercised his office only orally, and not to have…Read the comment
