From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

That I will break -That I will break his power; that I will discomfit and destroy his army. The Assyrian -Sennacherib (seeIsaiah 10:0.) In my land -That is, in the land of Canaan. This is often called his land; and this expression shows that the passage does not and cannot refer to the king of Babylon, for he was destroyed in his own cityDaniel 5:0) And upon my mountains -That is, upon the mountains of Palestine. The army of Sennacherib was destroyed on the mountains that were near to Jerusalem (see the notes atIsaiah 10:33-34).
