He has come to Aiath, he has passed through Migron; at Michmash he stores his supplies—the detailed account of Assyria's military advance toward Jerusalem, suggesting a historical narrative of the Assyrian invasion (likely Sennacherib's campaign in 701 BCE). The methodical progression through towns establishes the immediacy and reality of the threat. This verse grounds the prophetic promises of deliverance in specific historical circumstances, suggesting that God's action in history is concrete and particular rather than merely spiritual.
