What does Isaiah 14:28 mean?

Isaiah begins a new oracle—a prophecy—in this verse. This "burden" (Ezekiel 12:10 NASB; Malachi 1:1 KJV) is written against the nation of Philistia. This nation had been a longtime enemy of Israel (Judges 10:7; 1 Samuel 4:1; 7:10; 14:52; 2 Samuel 21:15; 1 Chronicles 10:1). The prophet writes this prophecy in the year that King Ahaz dies (2 Kings 16:20; 2 Chronicles 28:27). It is one of three prophecies in the book of Isaiah that can be anchored, at least vaguely, to a specific time. The others are found in Isaiah 6 and Isaiah 20:1–2.

Commentators suggest Ahaz may have died in 715 BC. This would have been when the Philistines were attempting to revolt against the Assyrians during the reign of Sargon II (Isaiah 20:1; 1 Samuel 5:1). Others think Ahaz may have died earlier than that date.
