What does Isaiah 10:29 mean?

Using specific locations, Isaiah is describing the path of a fast-approaching invading army en route to attack the city of Jerusalem (Isaiah 10:28). Scholars say this is not actual route taken by the Assyrian king Sennacherib before his defeat at Jerusalem. However, the description of the approach is effectively threatening.

Speaking in the present tense, Isaiah says the army has reached the town of Michmash. At this location the army has stored their traveling supplies, and crossed over the pass to the town of Geba. This is where they camp for the night. The people in the surrounding towns are terrified. The invaders can take one of three roads from Geba. Ramah is two miles to the west, so the people there tremble. Gibeah, King Saul's former capital, is about three miles southwest. The people there may have evacuated in case the invaders came their way. Instead, the army will head toward Anathoth.
