Migron

Migron appears twice in Scripture. First in 1 Samuel 14 as the place where King Saul sat encamped during the Philistine crisis at Michmash: "And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree which is in Migron: and the people that were with him were about six hundred men" — just before Jonathan's solo strike against the Philistine garrison turned the tide. Second in Isaiah 10:28 as a marker on the Assyrian invasion route toward Jerusalem: "He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages." The town lay on the Benjaminite ridge between Geba and Michmash, watching the strategic Wadi Suweinit pass.
