THE vision] The word of God made known to Isaiah by vision, or revelation, Revelation 1:1. &Revelation 9:17. a kinde of divine or spirituall rapture, Numbers 24:4,16. Ezekiel 1:1. and Ezekiel 11:24. Revelation 1:10. one of those means, whereby in those times God imparted his minde to his Prophets. Of which see Genesis 15:1. Numbers 12:6. So Obad. 1. Nahum 1. 1. Vision here for visions. as Chap. 22. 1. 1 Samuel 3:1. Daniel 1:17. for this is an inscription, not of this Chapter onely, or the Prophecie therein contained, but of the main body of the whole book: as by the times of the severall kings here after mentioned, appeareth. So Jer. 1. 1, 3. Hosea 1. 1. saw] was revealed to him, 1 Pet. 1. 12. 1 Corinth. 2. 10. as clearly, and as certainly, as if he had seen it, 2 Corinthians 4:18. and 2 Corinthians 5:1. Hebrews 11:27. whence also the Prophets were anciently tearmed Seers, 1 Samuel 9:9; 1 Samuel 9:19. Chap. 30. 10. So Chap. 2. 1. Judah] Judah, the holy land, Zechariah 2:12. the seat of Gods people; and Jerusalem, the holy Citie, Daniel 9:24. the chief place in it, and of Gods solemn service, Psal. 76. 1, 2. put here for the state and inhabitants of either; and that, as distinguished from the other ten tribes, that were revolted from Davids house, 1 King. 11. 31, 32. and 12. 16, 17. here onely mentioned, because unto them chiefly was Isaiah sent: albeit, he prophecie of, and to, other nations besides them. But that also, for the instruction, consolation, or reprehension of Gods people: those nations being such, as either they had been oppressed by, as Assur and Babel, Chap. 10. and 13, &c. or had too much relied upon: as Egypt and Ethiopia, Chap. 20 and 30. &c. Ʋzziah,] called also Azariah, 2 Kings 15:1. Of these Kings read 2 King. Chap. 14. to Chap. 22. and 2 Chron. Chap. 25. to Chap. 33.
