Isaiah 10
1. The woe of tyrants
5. Assyria, the rod of hypocrites, for its pride shall be broken
20. A remnant of Israel shall be saved
23. Judah is comforted with promise of deliverance from Assyria














and as I have done
This phrase reflects the actions of the Assyrian king, who boasts of his conquests. The Hebrew root for "done" is עָשָׂה (asah), which means to make or accomplish. Historically, this reflects the Assyrian empire's expansion and their ruthless efficiency in conquering lands. The phrase sets a tone of arrogance and self-reliance, contrasting with the Biblical theme of reliance on God.

to Samaria
Samaria was the capital of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, which fell to the Assyrians in 722 BC. The mention of Samaria serves as a historical reminder of God's judgment upon Israel due to their idolatry and disobedience. It underscores the reality of divine justice and the consequences of turning away from God.

and its idols
Idols here refer to the false gods and images worshiped by the people of Samaria. The Hebrew word for idols is אֱלִיל (elil), meaning worthless or vain. This highlights the futility of idol worship and serves as a warning against placing trust in anything other than the one true God. The destruction of idols symbolizes the powerlessness of false gods in the face of the Almighty.

will I not do
This rhetorical question implies certainty and inevitability. It reflects the Assyrian king's confidence in his ability to conquer Jerusalem as he did Samaria. However, from a theological perspective, it also serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty and the certainty of His plans, whether for judgment or salvation.

to Jerusalem
Jerusalem, the capital of Judah, represents the spiritual and political heart of God's chosen people. The mention of Jerusalem is significant as it was the site of the Temple, the dwelling place of God's presence. The threat against Jerusalem serves as a call to repentance and a reminder of the city's unique covenant relationship with God.

and her idols?
The reference to "her idols" indicates that even Jerusalem, despite its spiritual heritage, was not immune to the sin of idolatry. The Hebrew term for idols here is the same as used for Samaria, emphasizing the shared guilt and the need for purification. This serves as a sobering reminder of the dangers of complacency and the need for continual faithfulness to God.

(11) Shall I not, as I have done . . .--The verse gives the occasion of Isaiah's utterance. Sargon was threatening Jerusalem, probably in the early years of Hezekiah's reign. The inscriptions show, as Isaiah 20:1 also does, that he made war against Philistia and besieged Ashdod (Records of the Past, vii. 40).

Verse 11. - Shall I not... so do to Jerusalem and her idols? The speaker ignores the fact of any difference in kind between the religion of Judaea and that of the neighboring countries. He speaks as if he knew nothing of any religion without idols. No doubt Assyrian ideas on the subject of the religion of the Jews were at this time, as they were even later (2 Kings 18:22), exceedingly vague and incorrect.
