Then the LORD said to Isaiah, "Go out now to meet Ahaz, you and your son Shear-jashub, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on the highway to the fuller's field, and say to him, 'Take care and be calm, have no fear and do not be fainthearted because of these two stubs of smoldering firebrands, on account of the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram and the son of Remaliah.'"
Isaiah 7:3-4, NASB
So, God had Isaiah take his son along to meet the king? Interesting...

How old was his son? :-)
He was 4 years and 91 days old.
Matthew Henry calls Shear-jashub "his little son" and Easton's Bible Dictionary speculates he may have been his eldest son. However, this is the only time he appears in the Bible.
