He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages:
Isaiah 10:28 belongs to the first division of the book, chapters 1 to 39, not to chapters 40 to 66, which look wholly to the future, to deliverance from Babylonian captivity and to deliverance from sin and error through the Messiah. That first division was written during Isaiah's active public work as God's messenger to the nation among rulers and people, and consists of distinct single prophecies published at different times and on different occasions and afterward brought together into one collection. Its place cannot be fixed by a simple chronological scheme under Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, because chapters in this division are transposed and inserted out of chronological order.
The verse belongs to the prophecy against Assyria found in chapters 10 to 12. Verses 28 to 34 record an Assyrian invasion of Judah. Although the account does not name the king, its campaign setting and route point to Sargon, not to an ideal or imaginary Assyrian king.
The chapter is marked by strife, war, and wickedness, in contrast with chapter 11, which describes rest, peace, and righteousness. The reproofs of sin in Isaiah's day in chapters 10 to 12 point to similar conditions in the last days. The great deliverance described in chapters 10 to 12 points to Christ's coming.
