But although God will deliver you at this time for his own Names sake, yet he will remember and requite all your present and following Wickedness, and hath a dreadful Judgment in store for you.

For part of this Assyrian Storm fell in Ahaz his Reign, 2 Chron. 28. 20. &c.

Upon thy Sons and Successours, the Kings of Iudah: the Accomplishment whereof is recorded in their History.

To wit, evil days, by a Synechdcche; or Calamities: for days are oft put for the Events which happen in them, and especially for Judgments or Tribulations, as Iob. 18. 20. Psal. 137. 7. Isa. 9. 4. Obad. v. 12.

When Ten Tribes revolted from thy Fathers House, and set up another opposite Kingdom.

Who may well be called their Plague or Calamity, as he is called the rod of God's anger, Isa. 10. 5. Or, with (as this Hebrew Particle oft signifies) the king, &c. or, by the king, &c. And king is here put for kings, as Dan. 2. 37. & 8. 21.
