Isaiah 9:11

Therefore the Lord shall set up Transl. And ( so) Jehovah exalted. The adversaries of Rezinmust, if the text be correct, denote the Assyrians. But this is not a natural designation (especially if the prophecy was written beforethe Syro-Ephraimitish coalition); and it is inconsistent with Isaiah 9:12, unless, indeed, we suppose that there Syrians are referred to as auxiliaries in the Assyrian army, which is extremely improbable. Several codd. read "princes of Rezin"; but this is hardly less objectionable. It seems necessary to delete "Rezin" as a gloss and read simply his (Israel's) adversaries.

and join … together Rather, and stirred up his enemies (frequentative impf.) cf. ch. Isaiah 19:2.
