Resist Popular Panic
Commentators agree that God is commanding his faithful followers not to join the widespread, panicked cry for a political alliance with Assyria. The people, terrified by the threat from Syria and Israel, saw a human 'confederacy' as their only hope. God's command is a call to stand apart from the world's fear-driven solutions and to reject the pressure to conform to popular opinion when it contradicts faith in Him.
