First, in plain English
My delight is in her. She was Hezekiah's wife and Manasseh's mother. Isaiah takes the same name for Jerusalem restored, no longer the abandoned wife.
Who this is
Hephzibah, meaning "my delight is in her," was the wife of King Hezekiah of Judah and mother of his son Manasseh (2 Kings 21:1). Isaiah later uses the same name as a symbolic title for restored Jerusalem, picturing the city as once again the object of God's delight rather than an abandoned wife (Isaiah 62:4).
