Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
And I will restore thy judges, etc. When the kingdom of Israel, the ten tribes, with their judges, shall cease here, and the judges of Ahaz shall likewise have gone, Hezekiah will appoint upright judges ; and this is in fact recorded of him.48This fact is mentioned neither in the book of Kings nor in the Chronicles.
