2 Some think that the last three locales of verse 1 correspond to the provinces into which the Assyrians carved up northern Israel: the ‘way (to) the sea’ was around Dor on the Mediterranean coast; ‘beyond the Jordan’ was essentially Gilead to the east; and ‘Galilee of the nations’ was the province of Megiddo, which took in the turf of Naphtali, Zebulun, and Issachar. See Y. Aharoni, The Land of the Bible , rev. ed. (Philadelphia: Westminster, 1979), pp. 374-75, or, conveniently, Derek Thomas, God Delivers: Isaiah Simply Explained (Darlington: Evangelical Press, 1991), p. 83.

4 The traditional Hebrew text has a negative in the second line: ‘You have not increased its gladness,’ but the margin suggests we read what is a similar-sounding term meaning ‘to it,’ i.e., ‘to it you have increased gladness.’ Context implies that this latter option is almost certainly correct. For another similar possibility, cf. Gerard Van Groningen, Messianic Revelation in the Old Testament (Grand Rapids: Baker, 1990), p. 541n.

5 See John N. Oswalt, The Book of Isaiah, Chapters 1-39 , New International Commentary on the Old Testament (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1986), p. 243.

6 Verses 3-4 imply that the conditions of verse 5 come about because Yahweh will impose them, not because some anemic United Nations’ resolution suggests them.

Charles Briggs ( Messianic Prophecy [1886; reprint ed.; Peabody, MA: Hendrickson, 1988], p. 200) argues for ‘father [i.e., distributor] of booty.’ He takes ‘ad (more often ‘everlasting’ or ‘perpetuity’) as another word meaning ‘booty’ or ‘spoil’; see DCH, 6:269. Though plausible (given some ‘military’ context), his view seems less likely.
