“Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.”
Isaiah's message concludes with the affirmation that the LORD will defend and save the city for the sake of God's own name and for the sake of David. The invocation of God's name suggests that God's honor and reputation are at stake in the preservation of Jerusalem. The reference to David invokes the covenant promises to the Davidic dynasty. The oracle establishes that God's defense of Jerusalem flows from God's commitment to covenant and God's concern for God's own glory.
