Isaiah 10:26

• Gideon and his little band of men attacked the great *Midianite army. They killed the *Midianite commander, Oreb. Afterwards, the place where he died was called the Rock of Oreb (see Judges 7:24-25).

• God acted so that Moses was able to lead the people to safety across the sea (see Exodus 14:29-31).

The enemy attacks

v28 *Assyrian soldiers are coming from Samaria. They have reached the town called Aiath. They have marched through Migram. They have left some of their supplies at Michmash. v29 They have crossed the valley. They are spending the night at Geba. Terror has filled the people in Ramah. Everyone has run from Saul’s town called Gibeah. v30 The people in the towns called Gallim and Laisha are screaming. And poor Anathoth! Your fate is terrible! v31 People are running from Madmena and Gebim. v32 But the enemy stops at Nob for the rest of the day. The soldiers shake their fists at *Jerusalem. v33-34 Now the *Lord (commander of heaven’s armies) will completely destroy the vast *Assyrian army. As a man with a powerful axe could destroy the greatest of trees in the forests of Lebanon.
