Context of Isaiah 9:7
5For to us a child is born, a son will be given to us, and the government will be upon His shoulder. His Name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God My Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace. 6Of the increase of His government and shalom there will be no end— on the throne of David and over His kingdom— to establish it and uphold it through justice and righteousness from now until forevermore. The zeal of Adonai-Tzva’ot will accomplish this. Adonai sent a word to Jacob, and it fell upon Israel. 8All the people will know what Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria say in pride and in arrogance of heart: 9“The bricks are fallen, but we will rebuild with cut stones. The sycamores are cut down, but we will replace them with cedars.”

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 7Of the increase - The word rendered “government” here, משׂרה mis'râh means properly his government as a prince - his principality, and is a continuation of the idea in the previous verse, the Prince of Peace.‘ It means that his reign as a prince of peace - in extending and promoting peace, shall be unlimited.
