What does Isaiah 10:32 mean?

Isaiah has described the route of an invading army as the travel from the north. This army has traveled through Israel to attack the city of Jerusalem (Isaiah 10:28–31). Now they have arrived and stopped at a place called Nob. Scholars identify Nob with what is currently called Mount Scopus, a spot that overlooks Jerusalem from the northwest. Nob is close enough to Jerusalem that the threat to the city is suddenly very real. The invaders "shake their fists" at the mount of the "daughter of Zion, " which is another name for Jerusalem.

Scholars insist this invading army is not the one led by the Assyrian King Sennacherib when he attacked Jerusalem in 701 BC. During King Sennacherib's attack, he took a different route. Some suggest it may be the route taken by the Syrians and northern Israelites when they wanted to remove Ahaz from the throne of Judah, though this interpretation doesn't fit well with the context of the chapter.
