King Ahaz of Judah, fearing this alliance, sought help from Assyria. Isaiah's prophecy, including the naming of his son Maher Shalal Chash Baz, was a divine message to Ahaz, indicating that the Assyrian threat would soon overtake Israel and Syria, thus rendering their alliance futile.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/4118.htm">maher</a>, <a href="/hebrew/7998.htm">shalal</a>, <a href="/hebrew/2363.htm">chush</a>, and <a href="/hebrew/957.htm">baz</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"swift (is) booty, speedy (is) prey," symbolic name of Isaiah's son<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Maher-shalal-hash-baz (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מַהֵר שָׁלָל חָשׁ בַּז</font> as <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/8-1.htm">Isaiah 8:1</a>,3(literally <em>Swift is booty, speedy is prey</em>). <p>II. <font class="hebrew2">מהר</font> </p><p style="sub1"> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>(</b></font> √ of following;
