Restored a mention of angels, though moved the sentence.
Googling "Strong 2186 Greek" gives a page of the BibleHub website, which shows that 2186 is a composite verb "epHistemi", that is, "to uponStand". Compare the English verb "to underStand", which, in modern usage, does not relate to standing.
Googling "Strong 2186 Greek" also gives a page of the BibleTools website, which shows that 2186 is used only 21 times, almost always in Luke or Acts, and its first instance is Luke 2:9, "the angel of the Lord came upon them". The last instance in the Gospel of Luke is the current verse. That might indicate that Luke is using the verb 2186, at both the beginning and end of the gospel, of angels.
