This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Assyria - the former the first, the latter among the last of Israel’s oppressors (or representing the four great world kingdoms, of which it was the first): types of the present universal dispersion, Egypt being south, Assyria north, opposite ends of the compass. Maurer conjectures that many Israelites fled to “Egypt” on the invasion of Tiglath-pileser. But Isa 11:11 and this passage rather accord with the view of the future restoration.
Gilead ... Lebanon - The whole of the Holy Land is described by two of its boundaries, the eastern (“Gilead” beyond Jordan) and the northern (“Lebanon”).
place shall not be found for them - that is, there shall not be room enough for them through their numbers (Isa 49:20; Isa 54:3).
