isaiah 9:11 Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together;

isaiah 9:11 Therefore the LORD raises against them adversaries from Rezin, And spurs their enemies on,

11. adversaries of Rezin--the Assyrians, who shall first attack Damascus, shall next advance "against him" (Ephraim). This is the punishment of Ephraim's pride in making light (Isa 9:10) of the judgment already inflicted by God through Tiglath-pileser (2Ki 15:29). A second Assyrian invasion (see on Isa 7:1) shall follow. The reading "princes" for "adversaries" in uncalled for.
join--rather, "arm"; cover with armor [MAURER].
his--Rezin's.
