Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 7:1

AND it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up towards Jerusalem to war against it , but could not prevail against it.

A most wicked King: Yet no Prophesies are more comfortable than those which were delivered in his time; God so ordering it, partly for the encouragement of the Faithful that lived under his tyrannical and impious Reign; and partly to manifest the Riches and Freeness of his Grace, in conferring such Favours upon a most worthless Generation.

Which they attempted before in Iotham's Reign, 2 Kings 15. 37. but now more seriously undertook, though without success, as is noted here, and 2 Kings 16. 5.
