Usage: This proper noun is used as a symbolic name given to the son of the prophet Isaiah, signifying the imminent plundering of Damascus and Samaria by the Assyrian king. Context: Maher-Shalal-Chash-Baz is a significant prophetic name found in the Book of Isaiah. The name was given by the prophet Isaiah to his son as a divine sign and message to the people of Judah. The name itself is a prophetic declaration, indicating the swift and impending judgment upon the kingdoms of Syria and Israel by the Assyrian empire. This is recorded in Isaiah 8:1-4, where God instructs Isaiah to write the name on a large scroll and then to name his son accordingly. The name serves as a tangible reminder of God's sovereignty and the fulfillment of His prophetic word. In Isaiah 8:3, the prophet's wife, referred to as "the prophetess," conceives and bears a son, and Isaiah names him Maher-Shalal-Chash-Baz, as commanded by the Lord. The prophecy is fulfilled as the Assyrian king Tiglath-Pileser III captures Damascus and Samaria, taking the spoils swiftly, as the name foretold. This event underscores the themes of divine judgment and the reliability of God's word through His prophets.
