* For the head.
Dr. Jubb transposes the former part of ver. 9, and renders,
"Though the head of Syria be Damascus; and the head of
Damascus Retzin; and the head of Ephraim be Samaria; and the
head of Samaria Remaliah's son; yet within threescore and five
years Ephraim shall be broken, that he be no more a people."
This renders the passage perfectly clear; and the prophecy
received its full accomplishment when Esarhaddon carried away
the remains of the ten tribes.
