**וַיְהִי בִּימֵי אָחָז.** מָה רָאָה הַכָּתוּב לְיַחֲסוֹ? אֶלָּא מִפְּנֵי שֶׁסּוֹפוֹ שֶׁל הַכָּתוּב לוֹמַר **וְלֹא יָכֹל לְהִלָּחֵם עָלֶיהָ,** וּלְלַמֶּדְךָ שֶׁזְּכוּת אָבוֹת עָמְדָה לוֹ. אָמְרוּ מַלְאֲכֵי הַשָּׁרֵת לִפְנֵי הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא: ״וַוי, מִי הוּא זֶה שֶׁמָּלַךְ רָשָׁע זֶה?״ אָמַר לָהֶם: ״**בֶּן יוֹתָם** הוּא, **בֶּן עֻזִּיָּהוּ** הוּא, אֲבוֹתָיו הָיוּ צַדִּיקִים, לְפִיכָךְ אִי אֶפְשִׁי לִפְשׁוֹט יָדִי בּוֹ״. הֲדָא הוּא **וְלֹא יָכֹל לְהִלָּחֵם עָלֶיהָ** מִפְּנֵי זְכוּת אֲבוֹתָיו (בראשית רבה סג, א):

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz** What did Scripture see to trace his lineage? But, since the end of the verse states: “And he could not wage war against it,” it teaches you that the merit of his forebears stood him in good stead. The ministering angels said before the Holy One, blessed be He, Woe! Who is this wicked man who has become king? He replied to them, He is the son of Jotham; he is the son of Uzziah. His forebears were righteous. I, therefore, do not wish to harm him. This is the meaning of the words, “and he could not wage war against it,” because of the merit of his forefathers. [This is found in Gen. Rabbah 63:1.]

**נָחָה אֲרָם עַל אֶפְרָיִם.** נִתְחַבֵּר מֶלֶךְ אֲרָם עַל מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל לָבֹא עָלֶיךָ. ׳נָחָה׳ לְשׁוֹן נְקֵבָה, עַל שֶׁהַמַּלְכוּת נָחָה. פושי״ר בלע״ז, לְשׁוֹן ״וַיָּנַח בְּכָל גְּבוּל מִצְרָיִם״ (שמות י:יד):

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**Aram has allied itself with Ephraim** lit. has rested upon Ephraim. The king of Aram has joined the king of Israel to attack you. נָחָה is the feminine gender, since the kingdom (מַלְכוּת) joined. Posad in O. F., lay, comp. (Exodus 10:14) “And it rested (וַיַָּנַח) in all the boundary of Egypt.”

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**and his heart... trembled** Since each one individually had already waged war with him and defeated him, as it is said (II Chron. 28:5): “And the Lord his God delivered into the hand of the king of Aram...,” and it states further (v. 6): “And Pekah son of Remaliah slew 120,000 men.” Both verses are in Chronicles.

**אֶת בֶּן טָבְאַל.** בֶּן הַטּוֹב אֵלֵינוּ, כֵּן תִּרְגֵּם יוֹנָתָן. וְיֵשׁ לְפָרֵשׁ ״טוֹב אֵל״ אֲשֶׁר לֹא טוֹב בְּעֵינֵי הַמָּקוֹם, וּבְגִימַטְרִיָּא שֶׁל אוֹתִיּוֹת אלב״ם: **טָבְאַל** הוּא רַמְלָא, ט״ר ב״ם א״ל, **בֶּן טָבְאַל** בֶּן רַמְלָא:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**one who is good for us** Heb. בֶּן טָבְאַל [a combination of the words: טוֹב אֶל,] good for us; so did Jonathan render it. It is also possible to interpret it as: טוֹב אַל, not good in the eyes of the Omnipresent, and according to the calculation of the letters of ‘al-bam,’ Tov’al is Ramla. ‘Teth’ equals ‘resh’; ‘beth’ equals ‘mem’; ‘aleph’ equals ‘lammed.’ Hence, “ben tov’al” equals ‘ben Ramla.’

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**Ephraim shall be broken, no longer to be a people** Ephraim shall be shattered, no longer to be a people, for Sennacherib will exile them with their king, Hoshea son of Elah. Go out and calculate from Amos’ prophecy until the ten tribes were exiled, and you will find them to be sixty-five years. Amos’ prophecy was two years before Uzziah was stricken, as it is stated (Amos 1:1): “Two years before the earthquake.” And Uzziah was stricken for twenty-five years, plus these two years, giving us a total of twenty-seven years. Add the sixteen years of Jotham and the sixteen years of Ahaz and six years of Hezekiah, as it is stated (II Kings 18:10, 11): “And they captured it [at the end of three years]; in the sixth year of Hezekiah, which is the ninth year of Hoshea, king of Israel...And the king of Assyria exiled Israel to Assyria.” Here are sixty-five years. Now how do we know that the duration of Uzziah’s state as a confirmed metzora was twenty-five years? For it is stated (ibid. 15:1): “In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam the king of Israel, Azariah the son of Amaziah the king of Judah, became king.” Is it possible to say this? Did not Uzziah and Jeroboam reign simultaneously, according to the calculation you will find in the Book of Kings (See Rashi II Kings 14:22)? Rather he reigned a plagued kingship. In the twenty-seventh year he was stricken, and he reigned for fifty-two years. It is impossible, however, to count “and in another sixty-five years” from the day that Isaiah said this prophecy, for he said it in the days of Ahaz, and they were exiled in the sixth year of Hezekiah. In this manner it is explained in Seder Olam (ch. 28), that Scripture counted from the prophecy of Amos.

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**Immanuel** [lit. God is with us. That is] to say that our Rock shall be with us, and this is the sign, for she is a young girl, and she never prophesied, yet in this instance, Divine inspiration shall rest upon her. This is what is stated below (8:3): “And I was intimate with the prophetess, etc.,” and we do not find a prophet’s wife called a prophetess unless she prophesied. Some interpret this as being said about Hezekiah, but it is impossible, because, when you count his years, you find that Hezekiah was born nine years before his father’s reign. And some interpret that this is the sign, that she was a young girl and incapable of giving birth.
