2 Nephi 17:1

And it came to pass

in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah,

that Rezin, king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up

toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.

2 Nephi 17:2

And it was told the house of David, saying:

Syria is confederate with Ephraim.

And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people,

as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind.

2 Nephi 17:3

Then said the Lord unto Isaiah:

Go forth now to meet Ahaz,

thou and Shearjashub thy son,

at the end of the conduit of the upper pool

in the highway of the fuller's field;

2 Nephi 17:4

And say unto him:

Take heed, and be quiet;

fear not, neither be faint-hearted

for the two tails of these smoking firebrands,

for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.

2 Nephi 17:5

Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel

against thee, saying:

2 Nephi 17:6

Let us go up against Judah and vex it,

and let us make a breach therein for us,

and set a king in the midst of it,

yea, the son of Tabeal.

2 Nephi 17:7

Thus saith the Lord God:

It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.

2 Nephi 17:8

For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus, Rezin;

and within three score and five years shall Ephraim be broken

that it be not a people.

2 Nephi 17:9

And the head of Ephraim is Samaria,

and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son.

If ye will not believe surely ye shall not be established.
