For the head:
Dr. Jubb transposes the former part of "And the headª of Ephraimª [is] Samaria,ª and the headª of Samariaª [is] Remaliah'sª son.ª If¹ ye will not¹ believe,ª ° surely¹ ye shall not¹ be established.ª °" {Isa 7:9}, and renders, "Though the head of Syria be Damascus; and the head of Damascus Retzin; and the head of Ephraim be Samaria; and the head of Samaria Remaliah's son; yet within threescore and five years Ephraim shall be broken, that he be no more a people." This renders the passage perfectly clear; and the prophecy received its full accomplishment when Esarhaddon carried away the remains of the ten tribes. "Then Davidª putª ° garrisonsª in Syriaª of Damascus:ª and the Syriansª became¹ servantsª to David,ª [and] broughtª ° gifts.ª And the LORDª preservedª °¹ Davidª whithersoever¹ ¹ he went.ª °" {2Sm 8:6}

within:
"For¹ before¹ the childª shall have knowledgeª ° to cry,ª ° My father,ª and my mother,ª ¹ the richesª of Damascusª and the spoilª of Samariaª shall be taken awayª ° beforeª the kingª of Assyria.ª" {Isa 8:4} + "The burdenª of Damascus.ª Behold,¹ Damascusª is taken awayª ° from [being] a city,ª ¹ and it shall be¹ a ruinousª heap.ª ... The fortressª also shall ceaseª ° from Ephraim,ª ¹ and the kingdomª from Damascus,ª ¹ and the remnantª of Syria:ª they shall be¹ as the gloryª of the childrenª of Israel,ª saithª ° the LORDª of hosts.ª" {Isa 17:1-3} + "Then the kingª of Assyriaª came upª ° throughout all¹ the land,ª and went upª ° to Samaria,ª and besiegedª °¹ it threeª years.ª ... Until¹ ¹ the LORDª removedª °¹ Israelª out of¹ ¹ his sight,ª as¹ he had saidª ° byª all¹ his servantsª the prophets.ª So was Israelª carried awayª ° out of¹ ¹ their own landª to Assyriaª unto¹ this¹ day.ª" {2Kg 17:5-23} + "Then they cameª ° to¹ Zerubbabel,ª and to¹ the chiefª of the fathers,ª and saidª ° unto them, Let us buildª ° with¹ you: for¹ we seekª ° your God,ª as ye [do]; and we¹ do sacrificeª ° unto him since the daysª ¹ of Esarhaddonª kingª of Assur,ª which brought us up¹ ¹ hither.² °¹" {Ezr 4:2}

that it be not a people:
Heb. from a people, "And she conceived¹ again,² °¹ and bareª ° a daughter.ª And [God] saidª ° unto him, Callª ° her nameª Loruhamah:ª ° for¹ I will no¹ moreª °¹ have mercy² ° upon¹ ¹ the houseª of Israel;ª but¹ I will utterly² ° take them away.ª ° ... Yet the numberª of the childrenª of Israelª shall be¹ as the sandª of the sea,ª which¹ cannot¹ be measuredª ° nor¹ numbered;ª ° and it shall come to pass,¹ [that] in the placeª where¹ it was saidª ° unto them, Ye¹ [are] not¹ my people,ª [there] it shall be saidª ° unto them, [Ye are] the sonsª of the livingª God.ª" {Hsa 1:6-10}
