Assyria has entered Aiath and passed through Migron, storing their supplies at Michmash.

He is come to Aiath, he is passed through Migron; at Michmash he layeth up his baggage;
KJV
He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages:
(Verse 28 and following) He will come to Aiath, he will pass through Migron: at Machmas he will deposit his baggage. They went with haste to Geba, our city (or as we find elsewhere written: they stayed at the lodging place); Ramah was astonished, Gibeah of Saul fled. Cry out with your voice, daughter of Gallim; listen, Laishah, poor Anathoth: Medemena has taken flight; the inhabitants of Gebim, gather yourselves together. There is still a day, to stand at Nob: he will shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
He is come to Aiath - A description of the march of Sennacherib’s army approaching Jerusalem in order to invest it, and of the terror and confusion spreading and increasing through the several places as he advanced; expressed with great brevity, but finely diversified. The places here mentioned are all in the neighborhood of Jerusalem; from Ai northward, to Nob westward of it; from which last place he might probably have a prospect of Mount Sion. Anathoth was within three Roman miles of Jerusalem, according to Eusebius, Jerome and Josephus. Onomast. Loc. Hebr. et Antiq. Jud. 10:7,
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
