What Does Isaiah 10:29 Mean?
The army crosses a strategic passage and lodges at Geba, bringing the invasion into the heart of the region. Fear and flight follow: Ramah is afraid, and Gibeah is abandoned. The rapid collapse of civilian resistance and the spread of fear illustrate the psychological impact of the unstoppable invasion.
The reference to Gibeah of Saul (a significant historical town) suggests that even places of historical importance offer no refuge or resistance. The population flees rather than stand.
