The Lexham Bible Dictionary Ahaz, King of Judah

AHAZ, KING OF JUDAH (אחז, 'chz; shortened form of יהואחז, yhw'chz, meaning “he [Yahweh] has held, grasped”). The 12th king of Judah. Placed his trust in Assyria when faced with military threat. His actions led to divine judgment upon Judah.

Isaiah prophesied during the times of four kings of Judah:

1. Uzziah/Azariah (787–736 bc);

2. Jotham (coregent 756–741 bc);

3. Ahaz (741–736 bc as coregent; 736–725 bc as sole ruler);

4. Hezekiah (725–697 bc) (Larsson, “Chronology,” 224–35).

From the beginning of Uzziah’s kingship to the end of Hezekiah’s spans a period of 90 years.

why does God ask Isaiah to take his son

the meaning of isaiah taking his son lays in the meaning of his name. SHEAR-JASHUB, SON OF ISAIAH (שְׁאָר יָשׁוּב, she'ar yashuv). The son of Isaiah. Yahweh told Isaiah to take Shear-jashub with him and go out to meet Ahaz (Isa 7:3). Shear-jashub is a symbolic name meaning “a remnant will return.” This is usually associated with Isaiah 10:21—the words there translated “a remnant will return” are the same as the name.

it was a reminder of what God had said before, not what God had done before. the name of the son was for a prophecy that had not come to pass. the meaning of the prophecy was in Isaiah 10:21. when the prophecy came at first, everyone received it and believed it. if they did with the son, then believe that the same God has spoken.
