A "ford" is a shallow place in a river or stream where troops could cross. This indicates a strategic military movement, suggesting the Assyrians are making significant progress in their invasion. The crossing of a ford often symbolizes a point of no return, emphasizing the threat and urgency of the situation.<p><b>“We will spend the night at Geba.”</b><br>Geba was a town in the territory of Benjamin, north of Jerusalem. It was a Levitical city and a place of strategic military importance. The decision to spend the night here indicates the Assyrians' confidence and their methodical approach to their campaign. This also highlights the proximity of the threat to Jerusalem, creating a sense of impending danger for the inhabitants of Judah.<p><b>Ramah trembles;</b><br>Ramah was another town in Benjamin, close to Geba. Its trembling signifies fear and panic among the people due to the advancing Assyrian forces. This reaction is typical in the face of a powerful and ruthless enemy. Ramah's fear reflects the broader anxiety of the region as the Assyrians approach.<p><b>Gibeah of Saul flees.</b><br>Gibeah was the hometown of King Saul, Israel's first king, and is located near Ramah. The mention of Gibeah fleeing personifies the town, indicating a complete breakdown of order and a desperate attempt to escape the impending threat. This also serves as a historical reminder of Israel's past leadership and the current failure to protect the land, contrasting the former glory with present vulnerability.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_assyrian_army.htm">The Assyrian Army</a></b><br>The context of <a href="/bsb/isaiah/10.htm">Isaiah 10</a> involves the Assyrian army advancing through the land of Israel, causing fear and destruction.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/g/geba.htm">Geba</a></b><br>A town in the territory of Benjamin, significant as a military post and a place of strategic importance during the Assyrian invasion.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/r/ramah.htm">Ramah</a></b><br>Another town in Benjamin, known for its historical and strategic significance.
