Summary for Isa 10:28-34: 10:28-34 g Look, the Assyrians are now at Aiath: The march described in 10:29-32 h is a poetic account of Assyria’s defeat. The places follow a route from the north down to Jerusalem. Upon arriving at Jerusalem, the Assyrians were forced to retreat. God was with Jerusalem, and eventually Assyria would be utterly destroyed. This passage might foretell Sennacherib’s invasion in 701 BC (see chs 36–37 i), but it could just as well describe an earlier or later invasion.
