"Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God,.... For though Ahaz was a wicked man, yet the Lord was his God, as he was the God of the people
of Israel in general, as a nation; and knowing his unbelief and diffidence of his word unto him, offers to confirm it by a sign or miracle: ask it either in the depth, or in the height above, in earth, or in heaven: so the Targum, "ask that a miracle may be done for thee upon earth, or that a sign may be shown thee in heaven;'' either that the earth might gape and open its mouth, as in the days of Moses; or that the sun might stand still, as in the times of Joshua; or that a dead man might be raised out of the depth of the earth; or that there might be some strange appearances in the heavens.
