Isaiah 10:28-32

Isaiah 10:28-32

[28] He is come  to Aiath,  he is passed  to Migron;  at Michmash  he hath laid up  his carriages:  [29] They are gone over  the passage:  they have taken up their lodging  at Geba;  Ramah  is afraid;  Gibeah  of Saul  is fled.  [30] Lift up  thy voice,  O daughter  Gallim:  cause it to be heard  unto Laish,  O poor  Anathoth.  [31] Madmenah  is removed;  the inhabitants  of Gebim  gather themselves to flee.  [32] As yet shall he remain  at Nob  that day:  he shall shake  his hand  against the mount  of the daughter  the hill  of Jerusalem. 

What does Isaiah 10:28-32 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Isaiah foresaw the Assyrian army descending on Jerusalem from the north, passing through various towns, and finally arriving at Nob just north of Jerusalem. From that location, probably modern Mt. Scopus, which was somewhat higher in elevation than Mt. Zion, the enemy looked down on Jerusalem and shook his fist menacingly. All the towns and villages mentioned stood only a few miles north and east of Jerusalem.
